Yes, encoding DOES work, I've been doing/using it for two years, and don't 
get any spam to the email addresses that are encoded.

First, you have to use a CLEAN (new, never used) email address -- one that 
hasn't been posted on the Internet ANYwhere, ever. If you have your own 
domain name, picking a new, clean email address will be easy enough.

You can do the encoding yourself, or, to get started and it may be easier, 
go here:

Either that, or put up a graphic with the email address on it, be sure the 
email address you use is a CLEAN email address.

Also, if you have your own domain name and can forward email ... any email 
address that is receiving spam/junk now, and one that you're sure won't be 
used by customers/clients etc, forward that email address to one of the 
freebie email boxes at Yahoo or USA.net, whatever. Then just go over there 
once a month, select all, delete.

Hope that helps, Roxy
