I seriously doubt it, given that lots of forms do
mailto:user@xxx?Subject=yyy. I do the following, but I don't know if the
spammers have picked up on it yet or not:
mailto:nazgul%40somewhere.com
That should work fine in virtually all browsers.
The other alternative I've seen is to use a two-phase system where the
address is in two parts, but reassembled by the back-end CGI after a form
submit (which presumably the robot won't follow).
