I'm sure most don't read it, but as a programmer aware of this, it would be a simple tweek of the software to look for entities in addition to human understandable characters. Software doesn't care. It's still a good tip though. Not all programmers are s-m-r-t. Sean. While I think this technique will ameliorate the problem, I do disagree e-mail harvesters can’t read it.
