The e-mail signature is a 1337 way to hide the address from scrapers and other phishing mail extraction bots. It's just some ASCII character code juggling written in PowerShell and results in
m e l i s s a . r a d e m a n n @ j u d . s t a t e . m a . u s
If you want to try it, here's the statement in clear text: [string](0..31|%{[char][int](46+("6355625969695100685154556351646418607154006970517055006351007169").substring(($_*2), 2))})-replace''

Anyone want to ELI5?

I asked ChatGPT to decode it, and it got so close
m e l i s s a . rad
Then started spewing out gibberish as it dropped a digit somewhere.

If you would like to generate your own Powershell signature, do this to get the number sequence:
"[email protected]".ToCharArray().ForEach({([int]$_-46).ToString("00")}) -join ""

I got that yesterday.

Amazon! Always trying to <string> us along!
