Hi,

A lot of people that do not like spam have placed swear words in their email addresses, as a result, you get things like: avrosmalenNOFUCKING at SPAMhotmail dot com Is there anyway to filter this out? It would increase the friendliness of the php site.

We'll try to do our best : http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.mirrors&article=19834

Also, it should be possible to create a javascript mailto link that builds a link on the fly from various "pieces" of the email address.

I don't think that it's needed/possible as a lot of user add stuff like REMOVEME or NOSPAM (or NOFUCKING SPAM ;)) or other noise in their emails addresses. We can't handle it correctly. If you want to send an email to one of the submitters, just compute the right address by yourself. Thank you for your suggestions, Mehdi Achour

Further to the JS suggestions, by doing a complete htmlentities on the string (as in, turn *every* character into a html entity not just those htmlentities does) the spambots can't pick those up but browsers have no problem :) - Davey
