I think the spambots do handle that quite well, as javascripts hiding and so on.

You could make a small "feedback" form, where your e-mail address is hidden in
the server side script, just be careful with header injections and keep a
bit of spam control in the script that send you the mail, that way you could
limit the spam, at least your e-mail address wouldn't end in spammers databases.

But Adriennes suggestion is the best one, as soon as you get your first spam
to that address, switch to a new one.
