I used to agree.  If you do a wget on this page:

  http://autogen.sourceforge.net/announce.html

At the very bottom, you'll see indecipherable javascript gobbeldygook.
If you do a "view page source" on it, you'll see some HTML mailto
markup that email harversters never look at and if they do they
cannot decipher.  Finally, if you x-copy and x-paste, you'll get
English text.  Something along those lines ought to please everyone.
I believe that no email addresses are harvested from my pages any more.
