Hmm.  Contrary to what I wrote about "no mailto", I see this is what I 
have on the Archive site (site actually designed by the late David 
Worden):

     <A HREF = "mailto:contact19a@archivemag.co.uk"> 
     contact19a@archivemag.co.uk </A>

As far as I am aware, readers can just click the link to cause a new 
message to open in their email client. (Have tested only with Windows 
FIrefox and Android tablet.) It doesn't supply subject line etc, but not 
really needed, given that the ersatz contact address carries the clue.

Similar on other sites I do, e.g. http://glastonburyconservation.org.uk

In my experience, the openly published address is OK for a year to 18 
months before enough spam arrives to bother setting up a new contact 
address.  (Applies also for the throwaway "From" address I use for 
newsgroups, such as c.s.a.)

Dunno which webhost Roger uses for his wildflower site.  Host might have a 
readymade contact form of the sort Alan suggests.
