Actually, most spiders & bots parse the html source looking for the "@"
symbol.  If you represent your email address as ASCII character codes in the
source, the parsing program will pass right over them.

If it's clickable it's harvestable.  Even if it's not clickable, if it's in
correct form xxxxxx@yyyy.zzz it will be harvested.  Nobody has found a way
other than breaking it so humans can understand what's needed, but the
spiders haven't yet been told to look for that pattern.

Sigh.
