Comment (by anonymous):

 There is some discussion of this topic here:
 http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?NameMangling

 Of course other, more efficient techniques are needed to fight against
 spam.

 But meanwhile we should not make it too easy for those address grabbers.
 Even the simplest mangling, e.g. replacing all non alphanumeric characters
 in an address (like '@' and '.') with human-readable equivalents (like
 'at' and 'dot') will help.
