Masker's Description

Produces PNG files (image files similar to GIFs, but
smaller) that contain your email address. When you post them
on your website, it is harder for spammer to harvest them.

You can include the generated image files in the HTML on
your website with: code like this:

[a href="../image/mailto/roedy.png"]email me[/a]

(pretend [] are angle brackets)

or

[mg src="image/mailto/roedy.png" height="24" width="186" alt="my email address"]

You can also mention your email address in public postings
like this:

For my email address see http://mindprod.com/image/mailto/roedy.png

It can be read by humans, but it would be more difficult for
automation to harvest the name for spam lists.

You can run it without installing at http://mindprod.com/applet/masker.html

You can also run it standalone as an application with

java -jar masker.jar

It also tells you what it should be sending.

To install, Extract the zip download with Winzip, available
from http://www.winzip.com (or similar unzip utility) into
any directory you please, often C:\ -- ticking off the (user
folder names) option. To run as an application, type:

java -jar C:\com\mindprod\masker\masker.jar

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/mung.html for other techniques to foil spam email harvesters.

The Applet must be signed to allow it to save the png image on your local hard disk.
