I don't think very many spammers bother with harvesting email addresses
from web sites these days. It's much easier to just buy a list of 20
million email addresses from some marketing company, which probably got
them from Facebook, or harvest them from people's Outlook address book
via spyware.

I use a tiny bit of Javascript, like this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var name = "tutor";
var domain = "pearwood.info";
function print_mail_to_link()
{
document.write("<a href=\"mailto");
document.write(":" + name + "@");
document.write(domain + "\">" + name + "@" + domain + "<\/a>");
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
plus a bit of HTML like this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">print_mail_to_link()</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>tutor at pearwood dot info</NOSCRIPT>
If a visitor has Javascript enabled, which I expect will cover 95% of
visitors, they see a mailto link. The rest see something trivial to
reverse into a real email address.
And even that, I'm wondering if I'm being too cautious.
