See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Some sites will play party tricks, which can get *some users* email addresses. Possible tell-tale signs of this are inordinate delays loading a page (fingering @REMOTE_HOST - doesn't often work but probably can't be detected from the webpage), or a submit button that appears to do nothing at all (a mailto: form - works well with some browsers but trivially detectable). As a "snoop" party trick that's fine, but if you find someone abusing these facilities (eg they send you junkmail), alert their service provider!
