It’s back! Boy am I happy webby devvy!

This is the tippest toppest app for obfuscating your email addresses available for the Mac. After a lengthy absence Dan Benjamin has decided to update this little beauty. I was using the Obfuscatr widget for a while, especially when the Enkoder online form went AWOL but Obfucatr won’t allow custom code or additions like subject lines to your mailto’s.

Also available as an online form check it out here

Email harvester bots are shaking in their boots…….

Just thought I’d add that if you are adding email addresses directly through a CMS admin panel you might still have better luck with Obfuscatr. The Javascript generated by Enkoder is a little too much to handle, especially for WordPress. I should also add that it’s necessary to paste in the generated script in code view not WYSIWYG view…….

Ever vigilant in the battle against those pesky Harvester Bots I have for many moons been using Hiveware’s Enkoder to obfuscate and generally mung my email addresses whenever I have to plop one into a web page. Unfortunately the web based form for Enkoder has been offline for a while and I’ve been searching for a replacement, temporary or otherwise. So if you’re looking to do a spot of mailto munging, give Obfuscatr a test drive. It even comes with a handy little dashboard widget. Joy!
