OK, I'll investigate, but maybe not now until the New Year.
Oh, wait a minute. Perhaps I did this deliberately, because the "fail
text" might well contain the undisclosed address (e.g. a remote host
returned it in an SMTP error message). Yes, indeed. Reading the code
shows that that is the case.
Maybe I can do better, and scan the error message for the undisclosed
address, and remove it. Hmm. I'm not so sure. Maybe even admitting that
the undisclosed address was for a remote host is something you don't
want to do. In effect, the "hide" option is saying "don't admit to
anything about generated addresses".
What do other people think?
