A mailto address hanging around in HTML view

FrontPage 2000 - Office 2000 SP3

During cleanup, I have just passed everyone of my 160 pages through
hyperlink view to pick up some little anomaly that might be missed by other
checking. I found on my site map my live email hyperlink. I previously had
been using my 'hot' email address on the web, but thought I had removed them
all cleanly with the following routine, but one is still there.

I have a page called contact.htm in which is a 'picture' of my email address
text so that robots will not be picking up my email address. Also on that
page are contact instructions for submitters who would like to submit
material for the web to open their email program and type my 'email
picture' in real text directly into the address line. (no problem - they are
family).

In the bottom shared border (all pages) that same picture is there, so when
it gets clicked they get the contact page. On a couple of special pages, I
underline a specific word and hyperlink it to the contact.htm page.

My problem is that the reference to my live address hyperlink is still
hanging around in the HTML view on only one page, even after I have deleted
it, saved the pages and re-linked to the contact page. How can I get it out
without making a mess? Here is the paragraph:

<p style="margin-top: 6; margin-bottom: 0"><font size="2" face="Arial">We <a
href="contact.htm"> invite</a> family members and allied families to
contribute to this collection. Submissions should include stories you know
about your family in &quot;the olden days&quot; or original short stories
or essays.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a
href="mailto:[email protected]"><br></a></font></p>
(in HTML view, there is no underlining under the text that has turned blue
in this message)

In code view just edit your mailto link:
from
mailto:[email protected]
to
mailto:[email protected]

btw, having an image linked to your mailto is not gonna hide it from
robots...just so you know.

Maybe I didn't write the message correctly. For the bottom border (all
pages) where I had deleted my real address and substituted the picture, it
worked correctly - it removed my live email address completely, out of the
HTML view. If I have an ordinary word linked to a page that just has the
text picture in it with a few words, my live email address doesn't even
belong there. This is what bottom border reference looks like:

<a href="../contact.htm"><img border="0" src="../images/emldar.gif"
width="108" height="12"></a>

I'm thinking I could do this:
<a href="contact.htm"> invite</a> family members and allied families to
contribute to this collection. Submissions should include stories you know
about your family in &quot;the olden days&quot; or original short stories
or essays.&nbsp;&nbsp; <src="../images/emldar.gif" width="108"
height="12"></a></font></p>

This is what I removed:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]"><br></a></font></p>
and img border="0"
because the bottom border contact 'picture' is in a table with no line
around it.
