Hiding personal data in source code viewable on the internet

Hi,

Only my second post in this group and again hoping that I am in the right
place.

I am trying to set up a user feedback form on my website. I have it set up
and it appears to be working. I have a couple of questions and a concern.

First question. When I use the page to send feedback an e-mail message
comes in from null@xxxxxxxx mvps.org is the hose of my site. I was
wondering why the from is not from the person that sent the feedback? Is
there something I need to do to change and make feedback appear from the
person that sent it?

Then next issue is concern for personal information. If I look at my source
code when viewed on the internet the following segment is displayed which
contains my e-mail address:

form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Website User Feedback"
onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;"
webbot-onSubmit>
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
S-Email-Address="gmaxey@xxxxxxxx" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE"
B-Email-Subject-From-Field="FALSE" S-Email-Subject="Website Feedback"
S-Builtin-Fields="REMOTE_NAME REMOTE_USER Date Time" startspan
S-Date-Format="%A, %B %d, %Y" S-Time-Format="%H:%M"
S-Form-Fields="MessageType Subject SubjectOther Comments Username UserEmail
ContactRequested " --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP"
VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" -->
<p align="left"><strong>What is the nature of your comments?</strong>

A friend of mine suggested changing gmaxey@xxxxxxxx to gmaxey%40mvps%2e.org
thinking it would help avoid spam. When I made those changes I would no
longer get feedback.

Another site I visit has a feedback form and its source code displays:

<form method="POST" action="response.asp"> In place of the mess my shows
above. Apparently there is someway of saving all of that mess above in a
little script file that users can see. Can someone guide me in creating and
using such files. Thanks.
