Thanks for the link, it's interesting. Without wanting to sidetrack the
topic too much, I have had a live site for 4 years with a mailto link
that has only received 2 pieces of spam in that time... both from the
same company.
I definitely agree about the default mail client aspect though.
Unfortunately the web being such a young medium means there is no
perfect answer to most of these solutions. Nearly every site I make uses
contact forms instead of mailto links but they suffer from spam through
the form, the only solution we currently have to this is a CAPTCHA,
which have numerous problems of their own, so haven't been implemented.
