Hello everybody,
the email addresses of the authors of the articles as well the editor's
ones are completely visible in the web page and also in the HTML source
code of the page.
Without any protection, any robot can find these addresses and start
sending lots of spam emails to them.
We should avoid that by using some simple tricks, like showing the emails
in a format like 'user at server dot com" and generating the 'mailto:'
field by javascript code.
Regards,
Miguel
