Message: Emoticon Listing HTML Help	[quote]There is a definite problem with the facility within Chatarea for clicking on a user's name and sending them an email. I have reported it to the administrator, but he can find nothing wrong, and I have to say that it does sometimes work for me. I know it can be frustrating if you want to contact someone directly, but I would strongly recommend against typing your full email address on an actual message - there are automated search engines which crawl the internet looking for email addresses, just for the purpose of sending spam. If you do need to type your email address on a message, then disguise it! So, for example, to email me, you need to type the following email address without any of the / symbols: mail/@heanor/history./org./uk (Or you can copy and paste it, then delete the 4 symbols).
