On further reading, I discovered the "@" method. My apologies for
not investigating in more depth before I posted.

Is this level of obfuscation considered sufficient? I would expect that
anyone trawling mail-archive.com for addresses would be wise to that
trick and just un-obfuscate the addresses. Personally I think that
addresses should either be stripped out, or replaced using a scheme
like: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -> "dave@HIDDEN". The latter gives you a chance
to identify quoted text when it's only identified by an email address.

Thanks,
Dave Holland
