Several methods have been put on here in the past, some work and some don't. Here's another method http://www.monster-submit.com/resources/nospam/ _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

You can never be sure but I've used it for one address and there's been no spam in 3 months. Of course, there's nothing to stop you using a graphics package to achieve the same effect if you're worried. Type in a rubbish email and generate it to see what the result is and then tweak the code and set up your own image. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

It's a little program you download and run locally, which turns your email link into Unicode that supposedly email harvesters don't bother to decrypt. One place to download it is here: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/ecloaker.html (in reply to jaybee)

I'm not sure if that's really true or not, but switched to e_cloaker because4 it works for everyone. (As far as I know.) Bill (in reply to Ac3)

If there's another way to do it then use that. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to btreloar)
