mailto: without the spam?

[Gollum]

Hi guys

Does anyone have a good way to put mail addresses on web pages in such a way that the agents of spam can't send their spiders out and read it?

I have considered using something like

<script>document.write('<a href="mailto:me_at_web.com">me_at_web.com</a>'.replace(/_at_/g,'@'));</script>


but as many of you know, javascript may not be supported/enabled on some browsers and so that won't work.

Any other ideas?

This may work well for you:

<a href="mailto:you&amp;#064;your&amp;#046;com">you&amp;#064;your&amp;#046;com</a>

Or you can use:

email at something dot com

Not if you want to provide a link...

This site (http://www.codehouse.com/online_tools/webmaster/email_obfuscator/) will obfuscate (like pyro's reply) your addresses for you.

Unfortunately, that method also uses javascript, causing a broken link for 13% of web users...
