Scramble your email address to prevent email from being harvested for spam

I previously created a special email address for communications with my readers and used a simple HTML mailto: tag knowing jolly well that the email address will be harvested by robotic programs for spam. However, I used free web-based mail which have very good and free spam filter and practically all spam ends up in the spam folder and very little in the Inbox. Also, the amount of spam I get is not that much. However, I have found out some important email messages have ended up in the spam folder and it is a good thing I make it a habit of checking the spam folder before deleting them.

But Amanda of Blogger Buster have made a very good email link scrambler and rather risk the amount of spam messages I have to check, I thought it wiser to use what Amanda has conveniently provided for us. It is very easy to use. Just type in your email address, type in the text of what you want to be displayed for the link (example "email me", "contact me", "click here to email me", etc., then just click the "Scramble Email" button and the script will be generated for you to copy and paste into HTML/JavaScript Page Element. If you do not know what I am talking about, please refer to Add advertisement, visitor counter, email link, etc. to your blog (click BACK button to get back to this page).

Please note that this will not work if you try to paste the script into a blog post.
