Actually, the one thing somebody cannot get from Topica archives is a person's email address. Their software automatically truncates any email addresses within a message to make them unusable.

But they can still get the other info, and anybody that clicks on the otherwise unusable email address can still send that person a message.

For an example of this, look in the message archives for Chuck Heath's N. California lead. You will see that in the message sent out to the list, the full address for the lead appears as dbad1 at jps.net but when you go to the archives that address looks like dba- at jps.net and is hot linked to a special Topica method for sending the link email. 

Please note: Any message you redirect to the list that has its original full message headers will appear just fine in the list, but when you go to the archives, the message ends where the original headers begin. That means that when Kurt redirects his referrals including their original message headers, and says "Scroll down for ..." the actual referral does not show up in the archives because Topica software truncates the message at the header. All you see is the "Scroll down" part with nothing to scroll down to.
