Well, actually,... your address is on some of the Web pages I just
changed, like http://www.rtpnet.org/rtpnet/min/97jun18.html

The addresses I've got online tend to be in lists, like
http://www.rtpnet.org/members/ and
http://www.rtpnet.org/rtpconf/registration.html

Let's see how it works with just " at " instead of "@". Otherwise, I like
Gantt Edmiston's solution, http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html

That looks pretty easy to do.
