I'm gonna get flamed by the text-only and accessibility camps for this, 
but another very effective way to advertise your email address without 
having it picked up by spambots is to use an image instead. I have a PHP 
label generator at http://chxo.com/labelgen/ that makes creating them a 
snap. There's a show source link on the page as well.
