The email address is encoded (look at the source of the page), but still harvestable by some spiders I imagine.
There has been discussion about not linking to email addresses at all in the comments. I’m in favor of that but I’m not sure if there was a decision to pull this functionality out or not.
I’m for eliminating all public exposure of email addresses.
I third that notion. I have eliminated it already in my own comments and can provide a “gauranteed spam proof” in my comment form. 🙂
Ha!
I asked here, guess why? I had seen the “spamproof comment form” in Mindfull Musings. Nice to know it is committed, then.
Thanks

Er, forgive this newbie for the question, but I don’t quite understand the last few posts.
Did LaughingLizard use some sort of modification or hack to get to “guaranteed spam-proof” status?
“Committed in CVS”–does that mean strong protection against spammers is already in WP version 1.0.2 which I just installed? That it has just been thrown in one of the nightly builds?
(Gee whiz…to think I used to be employed as a technical-support dude…now I browse the forums for this nifty new weblog tool I somehow installed correctly, and the majority of what I read might as well be encrypted Klingon for all I can tell. I *used* to be tech-savvy, I promise!)

Yes, he used some hack (of his) to make the form guaranteed. Alexking is one of the developers, when he says “committed to CVS” it means he posted it to the Current Version System (i think that is the meaning of the acronym).
The spam-proof code is not in your 1.02 version, it is in the CVS current version. Which is sort of beta.
This is all as far as i can tell…
Thanks for taking the time to provide clarification. I understand much better now.

Concurrent is the C in CVS I believe. It keeps track of changes in the code so you can go back if needed to see what changed.
