I put email buttons on my web sites in this form:
<A HREF="javascript:mail2('nvodlabdn0psh')">Mail to Bob Munck</A>
with this JavaScript function defined:
function mail2(id){
var ab =
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
var od = 'mailto:';
for (var i=0; i<id.length; i++){
j = ab.indexOf(id.charAt(i),1);
od += (j<0) ? id.charAt(i) : ab.charAt(j-1);
}
location.href = od;
}
The function just changes each character in the email address to the
one before it in the alphabet ("IBM" => "HAL"), a very simple cipher
but one that an address-collecting 'bot is unlikely to penetrate. The
ciphered string is obtained by using the following SED command:
y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\.0123456789/BCDEFGH
IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\.0123456789A/
If their browser doesn't allow JavaScript, they can't email. Tough
bananas.
