The reflector itself probably is, but the various archives of it aren't. I
did a Google search for my email address, inside quotes, and it came up in
various Nabble postings. In addition, there have been a couple of instances
recently where list members had their computers compromised, and if they
contained copies of your postings containing your email address it could
have been harvested by the malware.

It just isn't possible to use email and keep an address secure, I'm afraid.
