Thanks Joe. I found something to make your technique easier at
http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html and have already used
it in anger just now and it is working on a client's site. I am
imagining it already side-swiping all attempts by vicious bots to
"harvest" it, I have the image of a rugby player at full bore
with the ball, fending off all attempts to tackle him. You know,
his arm and hand stretched out to push all comers away as Rugby
players do... (I know how analogies tickle you pink...)

Just what I wanted, someone to say something to get me going!
