Maybe it's more inconvenient for the user if he tries to contact you in an
internet cafe (no mail client)

Not so friendly for the visitor either
But I just applied your entity-encoding-tric in a site where I needed an
e-mail address and didn't had time to install a form :-)
Thanks for the tip!
BTW for encoding of a string ($str) with the e-mail address into html
entities I used:
<php
$str="<e-mail address>";
for ($i=0;$i<strlen($str);$i++)
printf('&#%03d;',ord($str{$i}));
?>
