Indeed, so some settings might do with a tweak, to at least obfuscate 
posters addresses, so that at least script kiddies are flumoxed.

I never intentionaly use any "Reply to All" function.  In fact, this 
mailer doesn't even have a button for that.  You have to select where the 
reply goes, after you hit the "reply" button, from a list of available 
addresses in the incoming message header, that the mailer has recognised.

Just a thought as this problem is not going to go away.

rifle instead of a trident?

That's me targeted then....
