I have it start the email as a blank form in which you can fill all the information that I want.

It's all simple html, really.

Actually, it's like inviting spam email harvesters to dinner. Don't leave your e-mail addresses without any kind of masking. That is if you want to keep that address clean of spam.

Well it's just a webmail account that I have set up solely for the purpose of that site, it really doesn't get terribly much spam.

And in my opinion, it's much easier to delete 10 or so obvious spam emails per day than to filter through 20 or 30 partner applications with the wrong information.

Hiya Jim,

I think what Johnny meant is that you can have the same results you're getting now but still protect yourself. For instance, this should do what you want but will give you a little protection from the spam harvester bots:

<script language=javascript><!--
  var contact = "Pink Eyed Jim at Fucking Nasty Shit"
  var email = "pinkeyedjim"
  var emailHost = "fuckingnastyshit.com?subject=Partner_Account&body=Email:%0ADesired_Username:%0ADesired_Password:%0ASample_Gallery_1:%0ASample_Gallery_2:%0ASample_Gallery_3:%0ADomains:%0AComments:"
  document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + email + "@" + emailHost+ " title='click to apply for a partner account'>"+ contact + "<\/a>")
//--></script> <noscript></noscript>

I'll leave you to decide what you'd put in the nonscript tag version.

HTH

Whoa Simon. That does help.

It's basically just dissecting the email address into variables which should throw most bots off track. Cool. Presumably one could also code something similar with a bit of php, right?
