So far so good. Nothing new there.

"Get used to it"?!?!? You're kidding...

I beg to differ.  Perhaps you didn't read about Shibboleth.  Clear text
addresses do not appear anywhere in the messages unless the (l)user writes
it in the message body.

Again, for your weekend reading enjoyment, may I recommend:

Learn more about Shibboleth at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/shibboleth/
Read a Shibboleth White Paper at: http://www.interhack.net/pubs/shibboleth/

Have a good one,
