I registerd with Bugzilla to report bug in Mozilla tHunderbird.
Then I realiyed that Bugzilla shows everyones email addresses as clean links.

I would appretitate if you stop doing this. I want my email to be kept private.

If not, at least warn user that his email will be publicly available.

we do warn people these days (so I'd mark this bug as WFM):

PRIVACY NOTICE: Bugzilla is an open bug system. All activity on any bug you file will be visible to the public, including the email addresses of those involved. Although steps are taken to hide addresses from email harvesters, the spammers are continually getting better technology and it is almost guaranteed that the address you use with Bugzilla will get spam.

We recommend using a free web email service (such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or similar) and not your primary email address if this concerns you. There are solutions being worked on to allow you to hide your email address from other users, but that option is not yet available.
