Put it in a picture
You can send me an email by using the email address:
The above address is a gif picture with the text of the email address, so you will have to retype it into your mail program. I have done it in that way to prevent receiving a lot of spam mail. The spammers use automatic search programs that spiders webpages to collect email addresses. But they can't read text written on a picture. If you have a homepage, you should consider using this method yourself. Encrypt it The above address could be written in a simple ASCII encoded form by putting the following into the html code: <a href=mailto:adm@vipmei Most of the mail address spider programs won't recognize this as an email address. But actually the address you can use, if you want to email me, is written in this form below: This is not too tricky: If you notice that the first letter in "adm" is an "a" and have been written by its ASCII code "97", then it it easy to see, how the next letter "d" is written by its ASCII code "100". And so on. The "@" sign has "64" and the point "." has "46". The extra work makes it possible to completely mask your email address from a spider, while still giving your visitors the benefit of a real hyperlink that starts their email program without any need to re-type the email address. If you want to do the ecoding the easy way, you can use a small FreeWare program: MailTo-Encrypter v.1.1:
This simple program does just one thing: Encrypt the mailto html tag by encoding the email address to its ASCII codes. You can download
