I'm not sure this is affective any longer, if it ever was, but I was under the impression that encoding your email address in hex was one effective way to limit spam harvesting.

e.g.; mailto: is the leading "mailto:"

I've been using it on my site, but I also use Google apps for domain email, so it catches all the foo that does come through.

I'm not sure that I'm answering your question correctly, there isn't much detail.

I think what you're asking is how you can hide email addresses, in html, from spam bots - in which case here is the answer (there is no point in me paraphrasing it):

You don't. Putting JavaScript into email is a very bad idea for potential security and privacy violations. Instead include a link in your emails to the form on a web page. Email is inherently private and the web is inherently public. If exposing the form to a user is not a private event then it should not go in an email.
