Here's the solution. Instead of using a mailto tag, put something like this on your web page: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/Util/send"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="name" VALUE="bruce"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="domain" VALUE="EckelObjects.com"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="subject" VALUE="Here is the subject line"> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Send Email to Bruce"> </FORM> Add this in as the external method 'send' (which in my case is in the /Util directory): '''Send email via anti-spam mechanism''' def send(self): mailto = 'mailto:%s@%s' % (self.REQUEST['name'], self.REQUEST['domain']) if self.REQUEST['subject'] != '': mailto += '?Subject=%s' % self.REQUEST['subject'] return self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(mailto) Voila! No more spambots collecting your address!
