=v= I do something along these lines: jym<!-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->©<!-- NOSPAM -->econet.org Breaking lines up with comments doesn't seem to bother *any* browser, so long as I keep it tight and don't introduce whitespace. It's not difficult for a parser to strip all comments, but I've managed to get the spamtrap address culled and used by spammers, so I've managed to mess with some of them. =v= My approach hinges on replacing @ with © (® is also a possibility), and I suppose it could be taken a step further by replacing . with · -- you end up with something a human can figure out and parsers don't seem to have (yet). =v= I've pretty much given up on mailto: URLs. If anything, I just use things like "mailto:REPLACE THIS WITH MY EMAIL ADDRESS". <_Jym_>
