Module development and code questions

One of the custom node modules I am developing for my site requires the ability to customize the "teaser". Rather than take the first "x" bytes as specified in the parameters for the node module - this module needs to provide the user with the ability to write their own teaser. Is there a hook or other method that would allow a module to set the content of the teaser and override the default behavior?

I'm working on an email cloaking module, as per the conversation thread at:

I fixed the Amazon Mod to work in 4.3, it is posted at:

Is this something I could do through a theme, along with changing the mysql database, or is something else required?

I found this post and I would like to do this to my site, but in marvin.theme I don't see the code listed in that post.

I'm using marvin as a theme and drupal 4.2.0

I just want to make the node titles links and get rid of the "read more" and "visit" links.

Thanks in advance.
