Re: Re: [OT] Kenneth's pet project!



An alternative somebody suggested on this list a while back is to use code
like this:

<a
href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#112;&#97;&#117;&#108;&#64;&#
99;&#117;&#101;&#109;&#97;&#110;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#46;&#117;&#107">contact
me</a>.

The web browser interprets the characters and builds the mailto hyperlink
correctly. So 109==m, 97==a, 105=i, 108=l, 116=t, 111=o, 58=: etc and 64=@
and 46=.

Can the bots read this?
