Mailto Links
When creating a mailto link on a page, use NATATA Anti-Spam Encoder to recode the email address to a name only. That will mask the address from robots and spiders that scan the WWW looking for the @ sign found in email addresses so they can create spam lists.
To down load the NATATA Anti-Spam Encoder go to NATATA Anti-Spam Encoder v1.0. Scroll to Free Softward, select site #2 and then select Natata Anti-Spam Encoder.
On the opening screen of NATATA, select the Quick Encoder. Type the email address into the top box. Then push the Find & Encode icon at the bottom right. When the encoded email address shows up copy it into the lower box using the button provided. Next copy and paste this Code into your Email Address link in Notepad as shown below.
