MailMole is a quick and dirty little chunk of JavaScript which lets you easily disguise email addresses on your web pages by passing the canonical, second level domain, and the subject as arguments to a function. I’m not convinced that this will stop robots from dredging address from pages, but it might slow them down a bit. Theoretically, you could add a bit more oomph to the script by encoding the argument values in the link to obfuscate them even further, and then have the function decode them before passing them along to the mailto.
