They probably just use a regex to find anything that looks like an email address, If it is anywhere in the page they will find it. Another approach could be to use a form to send an email rather than publish the email address on the page but remember there are also bots that will post spam to forms. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
