's message, "email addresses, spam and viruses" on 18:35:35 01/20/03 Mon
here's what the site says:
"While no solution can create an address impervious to harvesting, this web-based tool will encode your email address using Numerical Equivalents and wrap the result in JavaScript. The final product will be rendered correctly by your browser, but will be nearly-indecipherable by most email harvesting robots."
so it might help with the 'bots & spam, but I know some viruses spread by going thru the address book - aside from an antivirus program, I don't know what might help on that end.
I'd love to hear what else is out there if anyone has more ideas!
