    You can't. I have HTML disabled to discourage spamming.

      Ok, Thanks.

      I just could not figure out what it was for.

        Greg,

        That's a wise decision by Sam (as usual!). Sometimes you need to display your e-mail address on a page but without exposing the real address (in the HTML code) to web-crawling spiders that gather them up for mailing lists, spam, etc. What I do is to type my address in a drawing program (Paint Shop Pro, or similar), then turn it into a transparent gif (image file). Visitors can see the address, but the spider can't. OK, they can't click on it to send mail, but I'd rather they had to write it down than be spammed!

        Ray.
