You may wish to go one step further by reformatting every reference to you, either on your webpage or in emails, into a graphic. At the most basic level just take a screen shot of your own email text signature and crop it into a small gif or jpg. On a website you will probably want the hyperlinks to your email address and website to work so this will involve cropping each text hyperlink into a graphic and then using code rather than plain html to make the link as suggested above. I think it will be a while before bots will be running OCR on gifs and jpgs to see if they can extract an email address:-) Of course, in some situations it means that you can't leave your signature, which is why you won't see mine here. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
