Hi all

Has anyone come across a contact email address that has the word 'at' in the 
email address instead of the symbol '@'?  Calibre talking books have this and 
when I pointed it out this is the reply I got:

"The reason for the at in our e-mail address is that junk mail is generated by 
picking up e-mail addresses using the @ symbol on web pages."

This is logical, but I'm sure I've seen email address' that are just hyperlinks 
without the address written in.
