enough to reverse the extended chars? If they are setup with this type of
function, then yes I would say they are still picking them up.
I would say this is just a guess they are not doing this type of function
while
Instead of displaying the email address, why not create a contact form
therefore they would not see the actual email address.
However, I do as well mask my email addresses using JS and such.
But at times I use the forms to eliminate that possibility.
My 2 cents...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/01/03
I wrote an article about it in FA a few issues back explaining the logic and
showing off the code. I have to say that since I implemented it, the amount of
spam I get to certain addresses (addresses only on the HoF site) is way down.
As for robots.txt, that only comes into effect when a robot

Instead of masking put the email address in the database. Then build a small

I can't see how they could reverse engineer it (though spammers are
known to get notoriously industrious.) A technique I've used in the past
