Anti-Spam Email Function?

Hello all,

I'm still a newbie to ASP except hacking away at Bruce's forum. Anyway, heres the question:

Is there an ASP script or function that will generate (or write) an email link in a browser without revealing the email in the source code?

I understand that response.write is processed at the server and displayed to the browser in the HTML, but I am wondering if there is something similar to this javascript implementation:

<script type="text/javascript">
user ="rex"
domain ="rexpage.com"
subCon ="Javascript Email"
document.write('<a href="mailto:' + user + '@' + domain +'?subject=' +subCon+' " ' +' >Contact Us</a>');
</script>

Obviously this is to try and slow down the tide of spam. I have placed the javascript in its own asp page and just use includes; however, if a user has scripting turned off in the browser this presents a problem. I thought of using ASP variables or a function but can't figure out how to display the email reference without using a response.write which will display in the html.

Any advice or feedback is apprectiated.

The bots don't pickup the javascript email addy through the source code since the bots read the javascript function and not the results.

I'm just wondering if there is a pure ASP way to do it without the email displaying in the source.

even easier in your outbox/sent itmes

Huh? I know the email addy will be in the users outbox/sent if they are using a POP3 client (and I suppose a http client) but hopefully the bots aren't THAT smart yet.

Spam bots pick up everything. To avoid that, use a form or use a graphic. You can find components that will create graphics of text, but then the user needs to type it because you can't link it due to spam-bots picking it up.
