No need for "mailto" code or forms.  Since you have your own domain 
(wildflowerfinder.org.uk), why not just set up an address -- e.g. 
contact19a@wildflowerfinder.org.uk -- that you simply publish openly on 
your site.  The spambots will inevitably find it, but probably not for 
several months, whereupon you can just scrap that address and set up a 
different one.

In the webhost's control panel, make this inital-contact address redirect 
to your "real" address.  Never publish the real address; you don't want 
spambots to see it.

In your email client (Messenger Pro), you could filter such 
initial-contact messages to a designated folder.

When you receive a genuine message via the initial-contact address, you 
can reply to that person from your real address.
