Guys hate to rain on your parade but if your browser can understand that obfuscation what makes you think that a email address harvestor is not going to be able to?
These guys are writing complex viruses that harvest email addresses directly from people's Outlook contact lists, surely they can understand a little javascript and work with character entities. Sorry but I think you are kidding yourselves. Obfuscation does not work, replacing @ with "at" or appending .spam does not work and makes it harder for dummy user to actually use the web, putting emails addresseses in images is anti-accessibility (unless of course you also put the email address in the alt tags). The best method of hiding email addresses is with a contact form, but even then you are losing out because you are forcing a user to contact you via their website (i.e. stopping them from writing down your email or adding it to their contacts and contacting you at leisure). Emails addresses should be public information (like phone numbers). Spam isn't going to be stopped by hiding email addresses, you've got to stop it on the way into your mail box.
