John,

Henne is the list owner, the one that you can contact if you have any problem, 
but not this one.  

You fears seems to come from not really understanding the problem.
From emails malicious people can't extract much, but from other sources they 
can. They don't spend time collecting bits on mail lists where visitors have 
wallet, but probably not very attractive, they go after credit card data and 
similar information. 

Try to set your email address preferences to receive only mails that have 
opensuse.org somewhere in the header (To, CC) and it should cure the problem. 
I hope that tiscali.co.uk has some way to set user preferences, if not Kmail 
can do that for you.
