XHDR exists and works just fine. The easiest way to harvest addresses is
to connect to a newsserver, enter a group and send:
  XHDR from -
  XHDR reply-to -

This is the most inexpensive way to get tha data. Munging addresses
simply does not work, you won't reduce the amount of spam with it, you
will just have it sent to other users (or admins).

I'd prefer FAQs to be rejected when From: or Reply-To: can not be
replied to.
