[thelist] Email address masking via HTML or JS?

[Martin Kuplens-Ewart]

One way you might be able to get around the email problem is to have a
discussion board on your site.. Which these volunteers would visit on a
regular basis to answer questions posted there by curious passers-by or
other interested parties... An additional benefit of that is that you
aren't restricted to one person talking to a particular visitor... You
can have several helping each other explain the greatness of the area.

Oh, and another lovely benefit: The questions and answers are accessible
to site visitors, which means that the volunteers won't have to answer
the same questions over and over again; they can simply say "hey, check
out the response to xyz post"....

>>>Can you set up email aliases on your server? You could then create a
dummy email address @yourorganization for each volunteer which is then
forwarded to the volunteers' real email address.<<<

Bekah, yes we can do this but eventually we will have about 100
volunteers, and we didn't want all that traffic on our server if there
was a way to avoid it. This was actually my original idea, but I sort of
got poo-poo'd by the IT manager because of the potential traffic.
