One of the ways that eMail spammers collect the addresses they use in their mass mailings is by harvesting them with Web crawling software from "mailto" links on Web pages. This can be, if not prevented, at least made more difficult by disguising eMail addresses included in Web pages. The WebOps group has made it possible to include this protection in Library Web pages by use of the Antispam e-mail script.
To add or edit the script requires access to the actual file code, so unfortunately, you are not able to do this using Contribute.
If you have to change an existing e-mail, or create a new e-mail that uses the antispam script, please contact a member of the WebOps group and he/she will be more than happy to do it for you.
