Overview:

Putting your email address in a blog post is an open invitation to spammers. There are several methods to prevent this, like using a contact form or obfuscating your email.

Transpose Email plugin allows you to use JavaScript to create an encoded link. Clicking that link will trigger the user’s email client to open and create an email.

You have the option to set the default subject line to whatever you want.

Features

  • Easy to use and edit.
  • Doesn’t require any external program to encrypt your email.
  • Function can be called muliple times on the same page, just by passing different email addresses.
  • Uses the user’s default email program like Outlook Express to send the email. So, will work even your host has disabled the mail() function of php as well as SMTP.
  • Doesn’t require reencrypting of your email address in case it changes. All you need to do is update the arguments to the function.
