No, e-mail address shouldn't be revealed to the public (and spam robots). And
if user wants his/her contacts published in the forum he/she can register
there and fill in corresponding fields and then continue to write to mailing
list (instead of forum). If user don't want his/her e-mail to be revealed in
the forum (or somewhere else) then this shouldn't happened.
Of course it is possible to modify e-mail somehow to prevent spam robots from
collecting the address so easily but protected e-mail and true e-mail are
different things (as I said above, true e-mail address never should be
revealed to the public).
