Hi Ian,

Here's an indirect answer to your question - instead of
posting your e-mail address on your site using a mailto: or
similar, try one of the following:

 1) Least desirable, post your e-mail address as an image.
Not great, cause people have to re-type it, but it keeps the
crawlers away.

 2) Use a form on your site that people can fill out. Your
address is never posted, but you get the messages.

When I re-designed my site, I elected for the latter -
http://derekcooper.com/contact/. It's very elegant, if you
can make it work.

Cheers,

Derek
