Hide Email Addresses from Spammers

Spammers regularly use robots to crawl websites and collect email addresses. Most of these robots are very simply and merely search for mailto links or email addresses. A good webmaster should HTML encode these links and email addresses to thwart the spammer's robot. For example, the email address user@foo.tld encodes to

user@foo.tld

This site offers a form that will help you to encode your email addresses safely.
