Subject: Re: Hiding an Email Address from harvesters
| How are they able to harvest email addresses from CFMAIL tags? I don't
| understand how this would even be possible if the page is coded properly?
|
| Anyway, if you want to hide the email address, set it as a variable in
| the application.cfm and then call the variable from the CFMAIL tag.
