Bruce, Don't produce a "mailto:"; hotlink. The spammers have software that scans the Internet looking for those keystrokes <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In fact download your own spam tools at ZDNET and search for "email". Another option is that Yahoo Mail offers free throw-away addresses. You can post an email address until it fills with spam and then delete that address and set up another one.
