well, how else would you hide a email adresse from spiders who
seek webpage for email adresses?

I use this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -p

s/(.)/'&#' . ord($1) . ';'/ge;

which encodes my address to:

&#112;&#104;&#105;&#108;&#64;&#112;&#104;&#105;&#108;&#100;&#111;&#98; &#98;&#105;&#110;&#46;&#110;&#101;&#116;

Not exactly Applescript though. But it ain't Javascript either :-)


Unfortunately entity-encoding is well-known and the spammers have gotten around it. In fact here are several commentaries which show that this method (and a few others) can be easily gotten around:
