That's some pretty weak encryption. :-)
Look at the last 6 characters of the "encrypted" e-mail address and you
can figure out their code: /nu/vt is the encrypted part, and you know
their domain name ends with .mt.us. Replace all / characters with a .
and replace the only . with a - etc. I tried my suspicion on the
Feedback link and came out with an address of mailto+pdehart _at_
co.lewis-clark... Look at the person's name for the link you want and
you can easily confirm whether you decrypted it right or not. You can
probably drop the mailto+ portion, as well.
HTH,
Jacob
