Putting the address anywhere in the source code in it's original format is just making it easy for someone to read it.
The best thing you can do for them is to put a form that submits to the email address rather than giving a mailto: link to the address. That way it is never seen. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

They are claiming they are receiving more spam now since bots are reading the email address in the page.
