Re: visiting E-mail addresses

[Barry Treahy <treahy@mmaz.com>]

I do capture and save the addresses when people register in the system,
but that is a completely different problem that could also benefit from
gleaned addresses because people sometimes 'fat-finger' their e-mail address
and therefore do not receive their receipts properly...

Yes, I do know that this could be misused and contribute to SPAM.  That is not my intent since the many of the customers we work with have zero tolerance for it, but I'm attempting to deal with a quality of service.

I do know that NS often defaults to sending the person's e-mail address as an anonymous FTP password, but I really don't want to go that route.

Thanks Jason.

I'd suggest using a cookie, and then have the user create an account, cacheing the users email address...

Is there anything in the IE & NS DOM where using MV and/or Jscript &
JavaScript I can pickout the persons e-mail address?  We provide on-line
requests for catalogs and ordering having that address to be able to
contact the individual at a later time would be nice (ie. we had a
malfunction where a couple visitors received incorrect information and
it would be nice to be able to correct that...)
