Unfortunately not. Using knode as a news server or just browsing with
konqueror or firefox:

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.imagej

the addresses are not hidden.

Other groups do have some type of concealed addresses (not showing after
the "@" and if you click then it shows a captcha-style...

As I said I do not mind the traffic/content, but I do mind spammer harvesting
email addresses.
