I have made a php script that makes linking to email addresses through http: links but in the exact same format as mailto: links possible. You can test it out by going to http://mail-noreply@mailto.eligrey.com?subject=Hello World! (IE users: click here after reading paragraph below). If you took away the double slashes (which would still work) and replaced http with mailto, the link would work as a mailto link. You may be asked if you would like to log on with the username ‘mail-noreply’. Click OK if you see this. One reason for doing this is that most spambots can’t handle HTTP authentication.

IE users: IE doesn’t support username:password@host URIs so you need to go to the normal URI without everything before the @ sign. You will get prompted to type in a username (ignore password), type in the username in the email address you want to email.

I used to use NFSN’s e-mail forwarding to forward to my main gmail address but now I am changing my mail service to Google Apps because the email forwarding from NFSN costs $0.02/day and Google Apps is free and includes many other Google Services too. So don’t email me through eligrey.com for a day or two (if anyone reads the blog anyways).

Nevermind, NFSN’s email forwarding is much less of a hassle, offers unlimited redirection aliases, and I can still keep everything in one single gmail inbox.
