I need advice from people smarter than me.  This web page I maintain for a 
friend has a bunch of email addresses on it.  I know, I know, spam.  I warned 
them, they wanted it that way.

So now 6 months later, they get spam and want a solution so it doesn't get 
worse.  So, I started making them a form that people could use and so I could 
learn more about the mail() function to send messages online.  

My thoughts go back to a UUG meeting when Dave Smith was showing us a similar 
application, only with a database, and the quick thinkers in the group showed 
us why security is needed by making pop up Javascript windows on Dave's demo 
blog.

So there is this function called strip_tags() which I tested and appears to 
work.  My question is, is strip_tags() enough to prevent potential abuse, or 
is there something else I need to put in there to make it even better?

Thanks.
