---- Best way to stop mailto: robot spidered spam?

About two months ago I started using ascii for all email addresses. I have a little tool on my site that will automatically encode the addresses, include cc, bcc, subject and body and also encode that.

From what I've read so far in this topic, it sounds like the encoding is not foolproof and that email harvesters are getting much smarter.

I've read all the replies using javascript, contact forms, etc. Is there anyone here who has a surefire way to prevent the harvesting? Is the ascii format not enough?
