It's tough to trick the bots, but you can use javascript. You can do
something like:

<script language=javascript>
<!--
var contact = "YourName"
var email = "you"
var emailHost = "yourdomain.com"
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + email + "@" + emailHost+
">"
+ contact + "</a>" + ".")
//-->
</script>

(that was copied and pasted--formatting may be off)
