    I usually try to avoid putting email address in websites these days but I've got a situation where it's necessary.

    Is there a reliable way of masking an email address from bots, while still preserving a valid 'mailto:' for the user?

    I seem to recall using PHP for this in the past, but it's been a while. Anyone have a tried and tested method?

    you can use javascript like this:
    <a title="info" rel="domain_name.com"	href="mailto:info[at symbol]domain_name.com" onclick="this.href='mailto:'+this.getAttribute('title')+'@'+this.getAttribute('rel')"><span>Send Us an Email</span></a>
