Disguising email addresses in html..

What is the best way to disguise an email address from spam bots? A few I have seen/used are the @ sign as an image, which I like because in Firefox, not IE (obviously), if you set the alternate text to "@", when the user highlights to copy and paste the email address, the image will be converted to an @ sign, and the user may not even notice. you could do it like php.net does it: "example at gmail dot com". And last way I know of is to stick random characters in the email address and tell the user to pick them out, which i dislike the most.

I am not sure, but I believe I have seen a way using javascript, which siplays the email address in 3 different parts and adds the "@" and ".". Any one got any others?

I like the @ images idea. Another is just to display the entire email as an image.

Many spam bots nowadays are trained to recognize the whatever (at) xxx (dot) com method. I've seen the entire email as image technique used frequently, although it uses a bit more bandwidth.

As for new ideas, displaying the email vertically maybe (but still can be detected easily).

Javascript is nice, but there are those who run the NoScript plugin, which disables it (although you can have an "allowed site" list).
