So, use Google all you want, just make sure your web pages don't have your e-mail directly in the page as text (use links), and be aware of the archiving policies of mailing lists you are on (like this one).
The extra character information showing up in spams is probably an unrelated bug.

I recently visited friends in Germany and was introduced to a friend of
theirs who is a computer consultant and self-styled "expert". During the
conversation, I remarked that Google is a pretty good search engine, to
which the "computer expert" replied, "Not so good. Too much spam.".
Puzzled, I asked him what he meant by too much spam. He told me that if
you use Google, it causes you to receive more spam. This is the first
time that I have ever heard that, but I am far from being an "expert".
So, have I learned something new about Google or, is this guy an
"expert" in name only?
Also, on related note, I correspond regularly via e-mail with people in
Germany & Switzerland and frequently use umlauts (the two dots above
some of the vowels). Lately, I have noticed that almost every piece of
spam that I receive has umlauts over every vowel in the subject heading.
How is this happening?
