Hi Jukka
I understand your reaction. Each page has different email addresses on
it. This is what the company wants. I cannot tell them to remove the
addresses just because it is useless to prevent it from being used by
spammers. I need a good solution ( even if it is not 100% spamsafe)
not to show the email address in the source code but still visible via
the webpage.
Maybe that someone else can help me.
