• Description: Produces PNG files (image files similar to GIFs, but
  smaller) that contain your email address. When you post them
  on your website, it is harder for spammer to harvest them.
  
  You can include the generated image files in the HTML on
  your website with: code like this:
  
  [a href="../image/mailto/roedy.png"]email me[/a]
  
  (pretend [] are angle brackets)
  
  or
  
  [mg src="image/mailto/roedy.png" height="24" width="186" alt="my email address"]
  
  You can also mention your email address in public postings
  like this:
  
  For my email address see mindprod.com/image/mailto/roedy.png
  
  It can be read by humans, but it would be more difficult for
  automation to harvest the name for spam lists.
  
  You can run it without installing.
  
  You can also run it standalone as an application with
  
  java -jar masker.jar
  
  It also tells you what it should be sending.
  
  You can also use it as a command line utility:
  
  java -jar mask.jar john@yahoo.com E:tempjohn.png
  
  You can also use it in your own programs with
  Mask.createMask( File pngfile, String email );

  any directory you please, often C: -- ticking off the (user
  folder names) option. To run as an application, type:
  
  java -jar C:commindprodmaskermasker.jar
  
  adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.
