The technique of using a graphic to communicate an email address in order to foil spiders or harvesters, like this:

bob at domain dot com

seems pretty clever. Yet, when I think about the alt text for that image, I'm wondering if that alt text could be exploited by spiders...

would it be good to handle it this way:

<img src="mail.gif" alt="bob's email">

and leave it at that? for those who really use alt text, might they be short changed by not seeing or hearing:

<img src="mail.gif" alt="bob at domain dot com">

or am I making mountains out of molehills here?
