Fair enough. :)

Just had a thought on how to avoid JavaScript: cflocation.

Since it's a client-side redirect there's no reason it shouldn't work...
I've just tested a quick <cflocation url="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> and it
works for the big two, although you do get left with a 'dead' browser window
then, whereas the JS method allows you to use the window for a 'thankyou'
screen, so maybe it's not a better option. Oh well.

Ah! this is not an unwanted pop up etc they must have clicked on
the email on the other page with a clear intention of emailing the
advertiser. So yes they are aware and expect their email client to
open.  What I am wanting to do is to measure how many times this
happens for each advertiser.

Nothing sinister at all. I agree with you completely that to open
the email client with the details ready to go without a request
from the site visitor would be very counter productive.  In fact
most site visitors look at 8/9 advertisers details and contact 2/3
so to do it every time a visitor looked at the advert would be a disaster.
