AFAICT there's no way of making an email address accessible but not harvestable, unless you know something I don't. This was a two-minute thought, and it ought to be possible to make it better this way than to just use an image like too many people do. brothercake: yeah, I know.

It's a nightmare trying to defeat spambots - but I've resigned myself to logical captchas - i.e. basic mathematical questions, or linguistic ones. e.g. - my contact page here: http://www.monkeyfood.com/contact.php As others have said - accessibility is an issue here - you’re assuming that human eyeballs are the only thing reading your code.

As has been mentioned already your email address is going to be on spam lists no matter what, so put your efforts into training your spam filters :) It’s a nice idea, but I these days I think it’s very much a case of solving the wrong problem.
