The mailing list has always been archived online, so anyone can pull your
e-mail address off of the archive even without the newsgroup.  This
shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, since the archives are linked from the
same web page where you find about the mailing list.  Linking to the
newsgroup makes no difference as far as exposing e-mail addresses goes,
because the mailing list is as publically visible as the newsgroup is.
