Alas, this is often parsed by spam spiders. Same goes for those NOSPAM tags that can be stripped. Or replacing characters with html unicode equivalent. Etc.

Anyhow, the point is moot. If the e-mail used is a 'webmaster' address, they don't need to spider the web site to obtain it. They can harvest those from Whois records or simply send blind spam (eg. guesses).

If one really wants to protect an e-mail (such as a support e-mail), then consider adding a mail form on the web site. It's easier to use for users anyways. (imho)

Entreri.
