I have a folder of text files with names and addresses that I copy and paste into the e-mail program. Take a look at this page: http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/ and you will see that you can't find the e-mail address in the page source. I only use that e-mail address for the website. The actual address is stored in a small JavaScript on the web server. If you look at other pages on the site and click one an e-mail button you will see that each page generates a customized subject line to let me identify the page an e-mail was sent from. -- Michael A.
