I have inherited a site which has a couple cold fusion pages (which I know NOTHING about!). Are email addresses within the cold fusion code protected against email harvesting?

Thanks much

The e-mail addresses are only in danger if they are ever present in the HTML code which the CFML page outputs. In other words, if the address never appears when you browse the page and view its source in any scenario, you need not be concerned (barring some flagrant server misconfiguration which would probably make the page inoperable to begin with).

Thanks! That was a very clear, concise, and helpful answer :)
