Scripts that can crack these encoded addresses are simple to write and
widely available. Here's a post from 3 years ago on the issue:
<http://groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.www.webmaster/msg/25c7f460877f7816>
You basically have three options:
1. Use a Javascript scrambler, preferably one that does something a bit
more sophisticated than a simple document.write() instruction. Here's
one I made: <http://freespace.virgin.net/phil.ronan/scramble.html>
2. Use a submit button to send a POST request to a server script that
sends back a redirect header to mailto:your-address@example.com
3. Just use a feedback form and don't publish your email address
anywhere.
