Mungering my email

I’m using the site: addressmunger.com to munger my email address to keep bots from locking onto me with infinite amounts of junk mail. The catch when mungering the address is that a significant amount of excess code is included that kept the mungered address from working- once i figured out what to clip off, it seems to work great.

Here are the settings for the mungering site and an example of the excess info that needs to be deleted:

on the site set it to "plain email link" and include email in the box to the right. then uncheck all other options (unless these are things that you think might be helpful to you). and finally, make sure you check the ASCII munge as opposed to the Javascript munge.

When the munge button is clicked here is an example of what you will get: (i’m leaving out the beginning <a href to keep it in code html here)

="mailto:ga

be@ainswo

rthstudio

.com">gabe@

ainsworths

tudio.com</a>

Turns out that all the code from the > towards the center of the line to the </a> needs to be deleted leaving:

="mailto:ga

be@ainswo

rthstudio

.com"</a>

this shortened version will work now as an href email link that will appear as my email address.

good luck-
