[epub] RE: Spammers Subbing - Try encoding

Hi Michael,

Yes, I suspected some email clients might want to decode the
HTML. I might have to do 2 versions when I send it out in my
ezine.

For anyone that's getting confused by all this, the format
of each letter is:

      [Ampersand][Hash][ASCII Number][Semicolon]
a =       &        #        97            ;

(Without any spaces of course).

Thanks, Michael. You're right!

Just out of interest, what is your email client?



>a = a

This is how that looks to me (Eudora):

& amp ; # 97 ; (without the spaces)

Written this way, the required code will be displayed in a
HTML email client. But by the same stroke, anyone using a
text email reader that copies this into a Web page will see
code and not letters (in other words it won't work).

This is because the "&" at the beginning of each coded
letter is *part* of the code, and not a letter in it's own
right. Replacing it with the HTML equivalent "& amp;" (space
added for uniform reproduction) breaks it out of the code
as an independent letter, causing the browser to display
"& #97;" (again space added).

Clear as mud eh?

Perhaps a better way is to tell everyone to delete the dashes
in the code below before use:

mailto: = &-#109;&-#97;&-#105;&-#108;&-#116;&-#111;:

@ = &-#64;

com = &-#99;o&-#109;

a = &-#97;

e = &-#101;

i = &-#105;

o = &-#111;

u = &-#117;


All the best,

Azam
