In this week's AWADmail, Issue 117, the @'s in the e-mail addresses have been replaced with AT. Can anyone tell me why that is?

I believe that the AWADmails are also available on-line. replacing the @ with AT makes the addresses invisible to "spiders" that would harvest those addresses to use for spam mail.
