| """Generate fake email addresses for spam harvesters. | |
| A pythonic Python port of Joerg Kantel's fakemail macro for Radio Userland. | |
| It creates random e-mail addresses, optionally marked up as XHTML. | |
| The ``prefix`` and ``postfix`` arguments were left out, since strings can | |
| easily be prepended and appended, if needed. | |
