== Adding email addresses without the protection==
 +
If you prefer adding a clickable email link without this protection you can do so in the following way:
  
===Merge in with ProtectEmail===
+
: [mailto:<email>23463b99b62a72f26ed677cc556c44e8</email> Email Me]
I do not know why there should be two pages on the same topic. Why not merge How can I protect an e-mail address? with ProtectEmail?

: Thanks for the good point.  We'll see what we can do about this.  It's very high in the queue!!! [[User:Brandon CS Sanders|Brandon CS Sanders]] 16:30, 22 November 2006 (PST)
 
 
 
''' I can not see the problem!? ''' 
 
A link to the page would be okay; but the email address seems still protected.

==Solution to image-scraping?==
 
 
reCAPTCHA has this great mailhide feature and they have a php library available. The user can't see the email address until he/she clicks on a link. A new window opens asking the user to answer a captcha. If the captcha is answered correctly, the email is shown. I was wondering if this could be used on AboutUs, even though it's a wiki.
