I'm wondering if any of you have any tips on creative ways to keep spambots from harvesting email addresses on you page, and still keep then accessable to diabled people and text-browsers.
Anyone else have any good solutions?
You can encode mail with URLencode and then with decimal and hexadecimal HTML entities, example implementation:

It's 100% valid and accessible, but should fool some spambots.
Other method is to create bot-trap (hidden link) that catches and bans bots not respecting robots.txt and then giving e-mail addresses only on pages blocked in robots.txt.
Yet another method is to write email links like:
<a href="/mail/user/domain"> and then postprocessing links with JS
to transform them into mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
For compatibility with non-JS browsers you can have /mail/ page that
generates mail form or uses some other unharvestable form of displaying address.
