Hi Thomas,
The code below is actually BASE64 encoded.  I used to encode my email
address and http lines inside the web pages before display
Made it harder for spammers to sniff that information off web pages.  A
function I used to use is as follows:

function uniMe(inStuff)
'Read in normal line and loop through converting to base64
Dim strConvertedText, strHoldText,I,iLen,iDelimiter
Const PREFIX = "&#"
Const SUFFIX = ";"
iLen = Len(inStuff)
strHoldText = Trim(inStuff)
iDelimiter = 0
For I = 1 To iLen
    iDelimiter = I
    sText = Mid(strHoldText, I, 1)
    strConvertedText = strConvertedText & PREFIX & Asc(sText) & SUFFIX
Next 
uniME = strConvertedText
end Function

This could be changed in some sort of pre email program.

Joseph

You don't think this spammer had any criminal intent, do you?

Any suggestion on how to filter this kind of junk?

Thanks!
