There are three other instances of this corruption in Google's
display of your posting:

   From: ione...@yahoo.com
   X-Complaints-To: groups-ab...@google.com
   Complaints-To: groups-ab...@google.com

In other words:
($text_to_display = $original_text) =~ s/(\w+)\w{3}\@/$1...\@/g;

Attempting to change 'johndoe@example.com' to 'john...@example.com'
is the wrong thing to do in this case.
