Protect Website Email Addresses from Spammers

Using the Evergreen MailForm

The reason this is better than a simple mailto:myalias@evergreen.edu is that it can't get picked up by spammers so it protects your email address and also, it allows students to contact you if they are using a computer other than their own (which is often the case in our computer labs).

The best way to do this is to use the following url

http://www.evergreen.edu/scripts/contact.asp?sm=youralias&sub=Email%20from%20Curricular%20Site&title=Contact%20FirstName%20LastName

So on your Drupal or Moodle contact page you would

1. create some text i.e. "Contact the faculty" 2. Highlight it and click the link icon in the rich text tools 3. Paste the above link in the link URL field
