I've wondered about that myself. Some approaches I've seen use client-side
JS
to populate 'mailto' links after the page has loaded, others wait for a mouse
e
vent before de-obfuscating a particular link. If the harvester were to
simulate
'hover' or 'mouseover', it could easily do that to every 'a' tag on
the page just
to see what happens to its 'href' value.
I guess my next question would be: is i
t really useful to include the sysop's
email address on that list? If somebody w
ants to contact the sysop, they've
already been given the details of the board; t
hey can connect and go from
there.
