Human eyes can still get the email addy's, but the automated devices should be foiled via this method.

#10 | If you have a website that gives your email address, encrypt it into the html, and put in a graphic link only with no text of your real email address, that way people who click on the graphic to email you or even harvesting bots get only the encrypted version which looks like gobbledy gook. It worked well for me on my old website. Here is a place you can have your email address encrypted and just copy the html to your site pages coding. Of course, check it by sending yourself an email from the link on your site to make sure it's correct. http://www.ndo.com/ndo/Support/Email...pemailenc.html
