Deborah,
I'm not sure what your "public access folder" means but assuming it means
that the e-mail you used in your post is real: Such an announcement is
useless against the automated harvesters of addresses from newsgroups for
spamming and it will soon age off most news servers so that few will
actually see it.
Using a non-existent e-mail address in your posting is about the only
approach that works to prevent being spammed, or harrassed. Using a "munged"
address may defeat the address harvesters but will still allow individuals
to contact you... something like
yourfirst.ELIMINATE.yourlast@TO.yourURL.EMAILME.com.
As you see, I have opted for the non-existent address approach.
