Karl,

I think we provide a webform link for that - so if someone
wants to reach the original author - the form takes the
message - and then uses that XML flatfile cheatsheet
of the # -> email conversion to send it for them.  That
way no mailbox address is ever exposed - and you can
force a manual emailing process to send people comments.
