I don't click on stuff I just hit reply for my email program. Also since you brought that format up. Also I have html mail disabled so if you send something like that it becomes unuseable. import sgmllib yourmungedstring = "joe@user.or.jp" sgmllib.charref.sub(lambda x: chr(int(x.group(1))), yourmungedstring) That gives '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' I have talked with some people and I am assured that most spam crawlers can deal with that also.
