Website Spam Avoidance - Javascript Code
Use the following JavaScript if you want to display an email address on your website, but you don't want to receive spam mail. It will avoid getting picked up by Spammer's email collecting scripts.
<scrip t language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var LinkText = "click here";
var e1 = "mail";
var e2 = "to:";
var EmailPart1 = "yourname";
var EmailPart2 = "yourdomain";
var EmailPart3 = ".com";
document.write("<a h" + "ref=" + e1 + e2 + EmailPart1 + "@" + EmailPart2 + EmailPart3 + ">" + LinkText + "</a>")
//-->
</scrip t>

Tips for Fighting Inbox SPAM
Avoid using your email address on websites and bulletin boards as Spammers have scripts which scour the Web collecting email addresses from sites.
If you have a fairly common name try changing your email to something more obsure as Spammers use scripts to generate email addresses from common first and last names.

Tips for HOTMAIL Users
Update your profile so your date of birth is less than 10 years ago. This will cut down the amount of financial and porn emails you receive.
Set up custom filters on the Hotmail options page which send emails with your 'show name' in the from address field and your 'show name' in the subject field to the deleted items folder.
