    Hey gang, hope all is well & good on this October afternoon (EST).

    I know their are a massive amount of address shorteners out their (I still use bit.ly), but I cannot seem to resolve shortening an email address.

    I've tried to simply shorten "mailto:name@address.com" but get "Server Error" across the board...

    & I've located something like http://scr.im/, but it requires an action on each users part to "verify" they aren't bots or whateva'...

    Surely, their must be a way to do this; I am working on a new site with a small div that displays upcoming events and associated contact emails but they seem to be too wide for the aforementioned div...

    All relevant (& irrelevant) solutions, thoughts & the like are appreciated (as always)...

    : )

    can't you just use an email icon or something, and when clicked it opens the link? am I understanding your problem correctly? Sounds like a space issue so how about just use an icon or even "email" label instead of the whole address?
