  Hi,

  I received several spam emails lately and I thought it’s all thanks to these filthy bots that scan the web looking for email addresses, since I’m providing my email in many pages of my blog. Is there a way to protect emails from being read by bots by automatically converting them to graphics (like in Facebook)? It would be a really nice feature to have I think. I can do it manually, but the theme I’m using (Green Marinée) adds a border to any embedded image (I tried to disable it in the HTML code but it didn’t work) which is annoying.

  I know there’s a Contact Form to use. The problem is that I’m providing my email to my university colleges in order to receive documents from them to add to the blog, which isn’t doable using the Contact Form.

  Thanks in advance.
