I create noreply / autodelete "group send" accounts, and email to that with a BCC to everybody. That way, no private info is ever exposed.
Herself's workplace has done that twice: first time everyone was polite(ish), second time the boss got some really nasty messages and veiled threats ...

You could use one of them messengers, if you'd be stupid enough to believe they never leak.
Simple answer; you don't. You might just as well include passwords in there, please, in plaintext for GMails' convenience.
You make sure they can login on a page for your community, and you DO NOT mail them the password in plaintext. Ever.

I'll ignore that hit; what do you think, methinks of dropbox? Can YOU guarantee to me that they do not leak?
Snailmail, paper, ever heard of it?

Sorry, I wasn't meaning artists in general, I was referring to my knowledge of how computer-not-savvy people are in this specific community.

No, but I'm not looking for 100%, just cover the basics of not posting a list of email addresses into an email.

Yes, very much an option!

That then; mailaddress means you can track them, and they'd need be unique. Hard to get a new one too.
Might be more modern to require them to log in with a phone, sending an sms as proof of origin; that's electronic paper, but same idea; though getting a new SIM is cheaper than changing an address.
I'd prefer to not receive a list at all. I'd prefer to send my crap to some server on your side, and have them login there to see that message. That way, my phone number and mail can be kept private, while still being able to communicate with the group.
Like here, on CodeProject; you can contact me, easily; yet you do not have my mail address, nor my phones. Also, phones is never needed anyway, only for emergencies - emergencies meaning you need either firedepartment, ambulance or police. All other stuff can wait in my email until I take the time to read it.

I know when filling stuff out online I have put in comments my email with myemail at myDomain dot com
Replacing the @ sign with space at space and the period with space dot space seems to be enough that the autobots cannot decipher it.

That is definitely the simplest and easiest solution, and probably would work well enough.

sometimes the simplest solution is the best.
Also this gives you the ease of just using global edit replace in the document before you send and after they receive on their end.

How many artist are we talking about? Names, emails and cell numbers? That's near identity theft. And one can now guess the "near" location.
This is private business between (individual) members. (IMO)

If I understood your question/problem correctly, you want everyone in a mailing list to have everyone else's contact information, but you don't want the contact information able to be hijacked. Is this even remotely close?

if any have gmail - then use email address as meemail+groupname@gamil.com
that way that individual can trace any spam collection
as with most thing I compare the alternative, to be able to saw tech is not as scary or miss informed as the media has made it out to be
telephone books had/has name and telephone number, possible also your home address that last bit is more scare then any other
sharing a list of email and names in an email to said group should not be a concern unless an individual is purposefully malicious. If one is also hacked, worst case is some spam email. If they that concerned they they would have 2 email accounts, one for personal/sensitive work and one for friends and family.
to repeat - Name + Email address should be fine to share.
including a phone number and home address maybe a little to much, and why do they need that much shared.
last resort: write a text document, print it out and share at next meeting. - oh, why Bill never respond, because typo error.

I found myself in the uncomfortable position of defending someone else's messy code recently.
It was for a Truetype engine for games, designed for a PC but I adapted it to run on IoT devices.
It's a single header library, which makes it nice, but it's unintelligible.
Part of the problem is TTF is an extremely unwieldy format and things get weird fast. This header handles that and the rendering in an amazingly small footprint.
It's also actively maintained and that's the sticker for me.
Avoiding sanitizing the code allows me to more easily backport updates into my adaptation the more the code is the same as the original.
Your thoughts?
For reference, here's the file after I got done modifying it to stream. lvgl/stb_truetype_htcw.h at master · codewitch-honey-crisis/lvgl · GitHub[^]

It does not look all that bad! The code is messy, but not convoluted...
maybe one or 200-line-functions functions could be broken down. And I would [aim to] wrap inline IFDEFs in functions: like
#ifdef STBTT_STREAM_TYPE
STBTT_STREAM_TYPE data = info->data;
#else
=>
STBTT_STREAM_TYPE data = getInfoData()
I would push such improvements upstream.
If I had the time.
Which happens.
Never.

The problem with wrapping that is it significantly increases the amount of surface area I would need to alter in the source from the original, and I'm trying to keep that to a minimum. You'll note that a lot of functions pass info->data around without regard for its type. This would kill that, unfortunately.

Sounds OK to me. It sounds contained. And if it's maintained, someone understands it. It becomes a problem if it has to be enhanced and no one who understands it is around any longer.

I can't decide on what's the definition

Okay, I will admit to using a dictionary and don't know what time I'll be free tomorrow but should be able to manage something (if correct)
Loudly eating around noon with a fillet (10)
"Loudly" - f (music)
"Eating around noon" - lunching; "with a" - launching

Yes but you worked it out first - that's what dictionaries are for
