I'm using FP2003.

How do I add an email link without allowing the
email address to be harvested by bots?

Here's one way.

<script language=javascript>
<!--
var username = "username";
var hostname = "Domain.com";
var linktext = "Click Here To Send Me Email";
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + username + "@" + hostname
+ ">" + linktext + "</a>")
//-->
</script>

Change the username and the domain.com to your E-Mail address.
You can also change the link text to what you want.

John,

Sorry, our computer club's officer began receiving a barrage of spam within
weeks of using that javascript. The bots just do a "reverse" engineering job
on that.

I suggest the OP use a form and include an image showing 5 or 6 characters
that the individual must enter and then test the characters in the form.
 
Sorry to hear that.

I have not had any problems with it.
