Having read your article "Simple Algorithms to Obfuscate a String" at
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/algorithms/obfuscatedstring.htm
I wondered what would happen if I replaced Rnd -4 in the ConvertData
sub-routine with Rnd -(Timer).

If I didn't miss something it appears that you get a different
encrypted e-mail address every time you do the encryption because the
Rnd value is always changing. Seems like that has a very beneficial
use in keeping people from decrypting it "more easily", since the
encrypted string is different each time a person clicks on the button.
Might make someone scratch their head, eh?
