     If they're not concerned enough to even look into whether it can be
done, why should you be?  Besides, it's not like people's addresses aren't
publicly available from other places--if nothing else, anyone who has a
homepage probably already has their address harvested.

     If you really want to do this for them, you can either (1) do /ns set
<nick> hide email on for every registered nick (if you were clever, you
could even write a script to do it for you) or (2) wipe the databases clean
and make everyone re-register after you've set NSDefHideEmail in the config
file.
