Hi MAK, It appears your e-mail program or something has shown it exactly the way it would appear if taking a mouse to click on the e-mail. Using your e-mail address as an example, your e-mail is: maktranscriber@yahoo.com. The code would be entered as follows: maktranscriber@yahoo.com, now I have to assume your e-mail program or perhaps even the mail list is changing it, so I will try a different way to show you the HTML that I have been trying to show you. It is actually the "And" {&} symbol, next to it is the "Pound" {#} symbol, followed by the numbers 064 {Zero - Six - Four} and the ";" {semi -colon}. If this works, it would be all put together and minus the two equal signs, it will look like this =@= It automatically changes it to the @ symbol when looking at it or clicking on it to send an e-mail. Like I said, I have found that the spam programs are not able to harvest the e-mails because they don't see the @ symbol. Please let me know if this route works, otherwise e-mail me privately if there is perhaps a different e-mail I could send it to that wouldn't automatically change it. Sorry about that, I never thought it would change everything to the @ symbol.
