Hard to tell.. I don't suffer much from spam to my OOo-address, but OTOH I don't have clickable mail-adresses, but only regular text ones. And I did use entities to obfuscate the address, that seems to keep of most of the spambots as well. cloph@openoffice.org My address with some entities.. Plaintext for the user, stuff that would need to be decoded for the adress-harvester. > on the other hand if you change the '@' > with a written 'at' less experienced user never reaches such persons, > because they miss to change that back by sending a mail (my sad > experience, so i would prefer writing it out) > > on famous OOo sites like: http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html the > participant mail adresess are fully written out (with @) > > => how it has to be handled in future time (i think there should be a > common solution)? I don't have a preference really.... But if I was a spammer, I'd harvest the adresses in the mailinglist archives istead of parsing regular websites... ciao Christian -- NP: Meshuggah - Catatonic Transfixion --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
