Sorry, but that seems to be a google related problem - not using
Google I can see James' slightly munged address quite nicely.
Looks like the people at Google went a bit over the top, so you
should complain to them, there's nothing that James (or anybody
else here) can do about that - and even if he would take out the
.nospam the address would probably still be beyond repair...

But there seems to be another problem with Google, and that's
that your posting starts a new thread instead of appearing
within the one you probably were replying to. So if you complain
to Google also tell them about that problem. BTW, there are several
other organizations that give you news access for free. If you want
to give up on google for the time being, see for example
