Encrypted Email Addresses?

Not sure if this is the right place or not.

But does anyone know where you can go and enter your email address and get an encrypted version of it so you can put it on your web site so when a customer clicks on the hype link, it will come up as the normal email address, BUT when spammers come by with their spam bots and try to collect the email addresses off of your site, it can't because it is encrypted and can't grab the email address?

I have seen this before, but forgot where.

Thanks

DOH !

I went away, got the answer, came back, and it's gone. I will be back in the morning with the answer if no one else has. Smiling

Basically you are just replacing characters with their ASCII values or ISO entities.
