Actually on this subject there is a great discussion happening on the PHP mailing list
Check through the archives at http://news.php.net/group.php?group=php.general Might take some finding but there's a bit of a discussion on an Ajax method and why it doesn't work This is a hot topic currently so it may be worth posting any solutions there too Cheers Dan ----------------------------------------------------- Dan Parry Senior Developer Virtua Webtech Ltd http://www.virtuawebtech.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: Portman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 February 2006 16:53 To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] wdvltalk: Better email link I know you can put a subject in the link too (<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&subject=This%20is%20not%20spam"> - not sure if the syntax is 100% correct). The thing is, if you get a spam program scouring the internet looking for e-mail addresses, the spam will have the same subject line. I put up a website once with a membership form. Some spam program got a hold of the page and I got 20 e-mails per minute. I have seen where people use a JavaScript to display the e-mail on the webpage, but the code doesn't have the e-mail address in it for spam programs to find. If you are interested I can send it to you. HTH, Riva Randy (PeterPan) wrote: > I run a VERY popular website and want to continue to keep one main > email address easily accessible.
