Nope, the ' ? ' won't fool the spambot's a bit.
You *could* try obfuscating your email link but since spammer's use this trick
their bot's might be aware of it and properly read it.
There's a web page at http://www.cyberarmy.com/encrypt.shtml that has a box
that will obfuscate the tags for you. I'm not connected with this site and
really don't know how effective it is - I discovered the page because of a link
in another thread. But it *might* be worth a try.
