Publishing an email address - but not to spammers

[ffutures]

Since my email address will be changing soon, I'm going to have to put the new contact details on my web site (which reminds me I need to change my address with the hosting company, nominet, nominet UK, etc.)

I want to make it as difficult as possible for spammers to use automated spiders to grab my email address from the site - I think last time I put in some tabs between letters and otherwise obfuscated things.

Any suggestions on ways of doing this?

OK, that looks OK - I think I'll try the javascript version, see if I get complaints.

A javascript email protector is pretty easy to use and I use it to protect email addresses in my archives. So far no one has indicated having any problems.
Another way to do it on a website is to use a contact form with a Captcha type human detector. (Assuming you have access to either the cgi-bin or php.)
Supposedly what the spambots are looking for is the word 'mailto' and the symbol '@'
If either of those is obfuscated, the more naive spiders can't figure it out.
Of course, none of this works if one or more of the sites that has your address goes and hands it over to the bad guys.
