[ILUG] [TOTD] Your e-mail as a small PNG

Hey all,

Tired of explaining to the less technically minded what the following 
"wierd yokes" are, or even why their "e-mails keep bouncing even though 
I copied the address EXACTLY":

-> name at domain.com.nospam
-> name (at) domain.com
-> name (at) domain (dot) com

Well my editor over at the Linux Gazette uses a neat little utility 
called text2gif (from libungif-progs) and ImageMagick to produce small 
(<300 bytes) images of an e-mail addresses (see 
http://linuxgazette.net/authors/odonovan.html for an example).

It's as easy as this:

text2gif -t "name at domain.com" | convert -border 1x1 -bordercolor 
"#000000" -negate - png:name.png

Regards,
Barry
