Thanks for the article. Very well written and thorough. Email spam has become my number 1 problem and it was because I had my email address in plain text! Stupid!

It’s a lot more sensible to use JavaScript to generate the HTML, which provides a working e-mail link and copyable text but isn’t rendered for harvesting bots that don’t typically use JavaScript. There are online tools to generate such JavaScript. The above methods are then suitable in the NOSCRIPT tags.

I also use a picture to hide my email address from bots. I also used to type my email like EMAILADDR @ GMAIL [dot] COM, but there are bots that have figured that one out too!
