I'm uncertain of exactly what you're looking for. Do you mean you'd like something that can email you the contents of a web page? Or do you have a sample of the web page you have in mind?

looking for software that will strip email addresses from a web page. It would be even better if the app could spider into subdirectories as well.

So you're wanting something to help you send out spam? I don't think anyone here is going to help you do that.

I'm sure your intentions are honorable, but the email links were set up by people who WANT to be contacted as part of a  genealogical study I've been doing for 13 years. Because these sites are linked together, I thought a spider email extractor would be the best tool.

Hm, sounds kinda legit, I guess :o

Maybe downloading the pages to a local directory using HTTrack, and parsing those with a regular expression-capable tool?
