So for Buildroot your guys intentionally enabled that feature?

Even though idea is nice still in the "original" Buildroot list
all emails are displayed as they are, see

Given that probably that's not much sense in doing email obfuscation
in Gmane? IMHO it adds more trouble for good people than adds problems
to bad guys.
