    Place some text like "Contact me" or a "Mail me " image in your page, and link it: Link type must be mailto, and in the URL field, type in (after the mailto:) your email address.

          Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I am having an issue with e-mail "contact us" also... and am going to try this. :)

          Does this encrypt your e-mail address as well?

            No, it does not. To encrypt your email address : http://www.dynamicdrive.com/emailriddler/index.htm

            Please note that email encryption only works for bots, not for humans. A bot will not be able to see your email address from the page code. Byt, as soon as a human clicks on the link, Outlook Express will open and the email address will be visible.

Ok so ... where does it go??? How to do?... Tell me and I'll see if I can figure it all out... Thanks doug

                No, it is not really necessary to encrypt your email address. However, encrypting it might save you from spammers. Spam spiders crawl thousands of websites, looking for email addresses to build spam mailing lists. Encryptin, will save you some (if not all). Follow the above link to find a nice tool that allows email encryption.
