I saw this and just in case there are bots that pick our addresses up.  Don't know if this can help at all.
 

WEBMASTERS TIP - Hide Your Email Address from Spammers

Note: In code examples I add a period after each left arrow bracket so the code can be viewed in all email programs. If  you copy and paste, be sure to remove the periods or it won't work.

When you place an email link on your web site so people can contact you, it's also spider food for spammers. A spammer points his little robot at a web address and has it collect email addresses on that page, then it follows the links and collects email addresses from those pages,and so on until he stops it or it collects a preset amount of addresses.

If you use the ASCII equivalent for the @ symbol instead of using the actual symbol, you can trick most spiders into passing by your email address without adding it to the spammers list.

Here's an example:

<.a href="mailto:you&#64;yourdomain.com">Email Me</a>

As you can see, I substituted &#64; for the @ symbol. It will still show up on your web page as if you coded it using the @ symbol, and your email link will work just the same.

That will cause most spiders to slide right past your email address and never pick it up. However, one smart spider now looks for the &#64; code as well as the @ symbol. You can thwart them too, by coding your whole email address. For example:

dork@flipdipper.com

..codes to:

&#100;&#111;&#114;&#107;&#064;&#102;&#108;&#105;&#112;
&#100;&#105;&#112;&#112;&#101;&#114;.&#099;&#111;&#109;

I doubt if there are any spiders that will pick up on that, and it still works as an email link. You have to make sure you don't have any linebreaks in the code like you see here, or it will break the link. You'll find a free online utility to code your whole address at:
