There's no significant reason why you should need or want to pass a URLEncoded email address to a tag like this -- there's no way that a web-spider could ever see the tag or its contents ( well -- there are ways, but they require the CF Server to be _broken_ first, in which case the solution is to fix the server, which you're going to be working on very fervently anyway ) ... Sure it's possible to URLEncode email addresses before they enter the database, however, I would probably stay away from that approach and simply URLEncode any email addresses which end up displayed on the public pages of your website, i.e. mailto:#urlencodedformat(myquery.email)#">Send Us Email I'm not certain but I think placing the values outside the href, i.e. betwee and in urlencodedformat may also be somewhat problematic. hth S.

If the address is in a completely encoded form in a link on a web page, the address should be decoded in the act of clicking it, I believe. If not, no need to encode, it's all on the server. You only need to encode email addresses that are sent to the browser as part of an HTML page. There's a UDF on cflib.org (EmailAntiSpam()?) that encodes the characters as character entities, seems to work well...
