I wouldn't count on that. It's still plain text that looks like an
email address; bots don't necessarily look for the mailto: link.
A perl script to search for text (letters, numbers and _+-.),
an at sign and then more text is trivial, and will return cleaner
results than most spammers' lists.

If you really want to put an email address on a web page, the
least-harvestable ways are to use an image file or to use JavaScript
to put the address together at the browser end. Neither way is
particularly nice for end users, but they'll both stop current bots.

Cheers,
Evan
