Not everyone wants to share their e-mail address. I understand and respect this, although sometimes it would be convienent to do so. The current mechanism, however, prevents anything from harvesting e-mail addresses, since they're stored nowhere except in vroom's head. Well, OK, the PM database.
The solution that I've found is send a /msg to the person, asking them if they will send you your e-mail address. You can include yours in the /msg so they don't have to expose theirs anywhere on PM if they choose.
Personally, I'm content to put my e-mail address on my homenode, or as part of my signature...

What exactly is the difference between vroom's head and the PM database?

I know services that fetch emails from websites. Like people who pu on their site mailto's get spammed by these mail-spiders!!!
If you need a email ASK!

Actually, we do, if you write a private message to someone, that someone will see it the next time that they log on. I learned the same thing when I asked how it would be appropriate to thank someone for a reply that I found particularly good.
