Glad that the encoding technique is effective. :-)

Found it with Google.  It appears that e_cloaker can only encode
a single email address at a time; OTOH the NATATA program can be
configured to encode all the email addresses on all the pages of
a whole site with a few mouse clicks.

Thanks,

Karl

Karl, bear in mind that if you run NATATA on a Frontpage site you may have issues if it scans FP's private directories and attempts to change what it thinks are mailto's.


The other alternatives which don't involve encryption is to let the server handle the email request rather than the code of the site, I know it will work on Apache. This way you don't have your address anywhere in the code of the site. Or you could create an image of the email address.
