   I have a client that wants to have an email link on a post. Not on every post. Insted of using this code in the loop:
   <a href="mailto:<?php echo antispambot(get_the_author_email()); ?>">email author</a>

   
   could I use:
   <a href="mailto:<?php echo antispambot(author@xyz.org); ?>">email author</a>

   
   in the post?

   Yep. Just make sure to place quotes around the address:

   antispambot('author@xyz.org')

   If you want to run it in a post, you'll need to use a PHP-in-post plugin like PHPExec, The Execution of All Things, CG-QuickPHP, or RunPHP.

   However, if that's all you're going to do, it's probably not worth it. I just whipped up a little tool that'll run antispambot() for you.

   Thank you jalenack!
   This looks like it will work for me -just what I needed,
   I am using wordpress 1.2 so I could not use the plugins wp-contactform or others I found (all for 1.5 or higher)

   I really liked jalenack's solution, but it just didn't seem automated enough to me...

   Oh, it should work with 1.2.
