I've been using this for quite a while now:

  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
  function WriteMailLink(user,domain,subject) {
    document.write('<a href="mai');
    document.write('lto:'+user+'@');
    document.write(domain);
    if ( subject.length > 0 )  document.write("?subject="+subject);
    document.write('">'+user+'@'+domain+'<'+'/a>');
  }
  </script>

With no "mailto:" or "@" sign directly visible in the source, it throws most
bots for a loop.
