texte = Converting the email addy to ASCII characters is old. The spam bots have learned to read ASCII stuff now.There are JavaScripts that mangle the addy. That should work on the bots, but causes probs for those who keep JS disabled for security reasons.I use forms, because the bots can't press the Submit button. Let the user enter his message into a text box, then press the button which goes to a page that writes the email and sends it to the specified addy.Glenn------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
