Want to block email address spam harvestors

I have a site which includes several email addresses for contact. I want to try to cut down on spam emails. There is a Dreamweaver extension, 'MailSpam Blocker" which encrypts the address as well as mailto: but links correctly when clicked. There is also "ecloaker."

Has anyone used these or have other recommendations? (other than moving to an input form and deleting email addresses all together)

Thanks for any advice!

I use the Enkoder [automaticlabs.com] when I don't want a form. It used to be found under Hiveware.

I use a graphic that displays the address and is statically linked with just "mailto:". I use a little obfuscated javascript to set the link address proper. The key to remember is that email addresses must not appear anywhere in the source code.

Thanks to the both of you. I'll do a combination of a graphic image with the actual address and the Enkoder java link.
