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?

The trouble is that the robots generally look at the code (e.g. that Mailto: link) rather than the page.

That's why you need to use percent codes to disguise the link.

Actually, I just looked at it again (it was done years ago) and you're right: I didn't put the link, just the image of the email address.

Not that it really helped; posts that I made on various forums put my email address out there anyway.
