My problem (an maybe others') is that in this chapter:

http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/300/

- of the online POV-Ray documentation there are many email addresses
spelled out clearly with a mailto tag in front. This makes it very
easy for spam-bots to harvest these email-addresses while they are
traversing the POV-Ray web pages and other copies/translations of it.

E.g.:
http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/geomformats/pov/pov35
http://oceis.net/reprise_povray350.html

I receive a lot of spam and my email address will soon be unusable.

Can you please change this so that spam-bots cannot get mine and
the others' email addresses from these pages ?

I found some informaion about the topic here:

Actually, that is not only due to this listing but a real hotmail account
problem.

Hotmail's spam filters suck.  When I had an e-mail with a real ISP I
only got about 5% of the spam that I get now.  Right now my e-mail is
posted to fewer places than it was during the real ISP years.

Yes, the Hotmail spam filtering is really bad.

So therefore I really wish that web sites would not
show my Hotmail address in a machine readable form !
