Hi there,
Don't know if this is a worth while suggestion or not....but you can decide.
spammers often use mailto: to harvest email addresses.....
maybe there is an alternative using a form email or masking the mailto???
Another possiblitly would to only show mailto when they are logged in.
Regards
Sean

When a user registers they may select to "hide" their email address. If that is the case their email address is no longer being displayed on their profile page. Instead when a person clicks on the email link/button they are taken to a php form that allows the person to send an email to the forum members. To use the email feature a person MUST be a forum member.

Another means of protecting email addresses is to a javascript function, something like:
| Quote: |
<a href="javascript:mymail('user','domain.com');">mail user</a>
or maybe
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:mymail('user','domain.com');">mail user</a>
<script>
function mymail (user, domain)
{
window.open(... "mailto:"+user+"@"+domain ...);
}
</script>
