I know you can put a subject in the link too (<a
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&subject=This%20is%20not%20spam"> -
not sure if the syntax is 100% correct). The thing is, if you get a
spam program scouring the internet looking for e-mail addresses, the
spam will have the same subject line. I put up a website once with a
membership form. Some spam program got a hold of the page and I got 20
e-mails per minute.
I have seen where people use a JavaScript to display the e-mail on the
webpage, but the code doesn't have the e-mail address in it for spam
programs to find. If you are interested I can send it to you.

I run a VERY popular website and want to continue to keep one main
email address easily accessible. To help with the obvious SPAM, my
hosting company provides SPAM Assassin, and I have them delete obvious
SPAM. But I don't want too aggressive a filter because sometimes it
traps good mail too and besides, the SPAMMERS can come up with 1000
ways to spell the "V" word to get through any filter. So what I'd like
to do is the opposite... do something with my email link to cause
something to be embedded in the email, so I can "reverse filter" it in
my email client. In other words, if it has a certain keyword in the
subject line, it's more likely from an actual visitor, and everything
without the keyword can be filtered to a "possibly junk" folder. So my
question is, is there anything I can do to a typical "mailto:"; email
link (like the one below) to make it add some special key word to the
subject line, or some other invisible email field?
<a href= "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"><span class = "linkText">Email
</span></a>
