Comments

Looks great. I like it very much. Didn't know that you can do such much with PIL, or the be more exact: that a person who can program well can do so much with it... -- OliverSiemoneit 2007-03-19 18:58:00

To make visual analysis more difficult to bots, maybe you can transform each letter in the e-mail (rotate it a little bit, move it up, down, left, right so as to have not the same letter spacing. Maybe PIL also offers some effects you can use, stretch letters, bend them, assign some water-surface-effect...) That means: don't output only the whole email string as a graphic but output each letter separately maybe.. -- OliverSiemoneit 2007-03-20 12:54:35

Thank you for your comment and ideas. At the first time it was a test, how work PIL, and how can I use it for MoinMoin. The next time (weekend maybe) I would implement your requests. -- RichardFlieger 2007-03-20 13:09:39

Very cool, Richard! I like it very much. I personally like most the last one in red and black. That looks great! -- OliverSiemoneit 2007-04-02 18:07:14

Splitting the image is a brilliant idea! That makes automated captcha breaking nearly impossible. You should patent that Great! -- OliverSiemoneit 2007-04-17 16:37:54

Hi. I'm working on reorganizing the MacroMarket by creating subpages to each macro listed there, do you mind if I move this page to MacroMarket/SaveMailTo ? Thanks! -- JordanCronin 2008-01-29 02:16:31
