I’ve long used the Enkoder program to obscure my e-mail addresses listed here on this blog. The program takes an e-mail address and what the text the mailto <\/em>link should use, and, via Java, create a human-readable and mouse-clickable mailto <\/em>link that can’t be harvested by spambots.<\/p>\n

Problem is, as I was tweaking the code here for comment registration, I discovered that the old Hiveware Enkoder form, which you find posted all over the Net, is no longer available. There’s a similar stand-alone package … for Mac users … but I wasn’t able to find something to do this again for some new text.<\/p>\n

Oh, well, I thought, e-mail addy harvesting is so passe, I doubt it’s a problem any more. So I put a “contact me in case of comment problems” mailto <\/em>link on the comment page in clear …<\/p>\n

… and immediately started getting spam to it. Dammit.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I’ve found a new site to do the Enkoder work<\/a>, and have corrected the comment page link. And decided to post it here, for your edification (as well as to help me remember it).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
