The model I'm thinking of is like many forum systems. If you're a guest, you don't get access to email info. If you're a subscriber, you log on, and they magically appear. In the case of mailing lists, since oyu lose control of the e-mail address once it leaves the site again, you handle this by only using the remailer address in mail that leaves the site, but a subscriber could go to the list system and look a user up. That gets us away from the politics of the anonymous stuff.
It wouldn't be a bad idea, further to the above method, to have an option at the subscriber level that always stealth's their address, even if a subscriber logs on. That gives the ultimate protection ability as an opt-in. If you don't opt in, other logged in subscribers see your real email address.
Even though I like replyto munging, I know you don't. That would allow you to not replyto mung unless the user has gone totally stealth.
