The most common source of spammers getting  your email address is to have it posted on a web page. Any email address on a web page is subject to getting captured and added to spammers bulk mailing lists. Once on a spam list, always on a spam list... The following method will, to the best of my knowledge, avoid this problem, while retaining the benefits of the mail address showing up naturally on a web page and allowing users to click on it to send email. If you are more curious, take a look at:

• How does the email address get captured by spammers?
• Why does this solution avoid the above problem?

Enter an email address below, and see the HTML code that does this.
