texte = >Advertiser comes to the site. >Advertiser enters the details of his classified advertisement. (Including >his real email address.) >Data is submitted. >Data is added to the database. >Advertiser then refreshes the listing of all entries in the database.This is actually pretty simple, if I understand you correctly. You just want to make sure no one knows the real email address, yet can still send them email?Store the real email address in the database, but never create any search templates that display it in HTML. Rather than displaying a mailto URL, just build a form that lets people type the message they want sent, and use [SendMail] embedded with the real email address to get the mail to the recipient.The Classifieds sample site makes use of part of this technique when you click the Send me my password link. You can hide the part that shows the real email address in your site so people won't see it.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
