I guess a simple

<script language="javascript">
var a = "you";
var b = "yourdomain.com";
document.write(a + "@" + b);
</script>

would do

Onderwerp: Hiding E-Mail Address from Web Robots


Dear Group,

I remember seeing a javascript that 'hides' the e-mail address from web
robots. The script outputs the address correctly to the screen or to an
e-mail program, but for a robot looking for a direct text string resembling
an e-mail address it fails.

Do you have any clue where I could find it? I had my site down for nearly
an year, and came back online earlier this year. 2 weeks after that I began
receiving tons of spam. I'm tired of it...
