Does this works against SPAM ?

Boomerang · Nov 22, 2004

I use a new e-mail address because the last one got huge SPAM.

Do you think this will work against spider programs to prevent my new address for SPAM.

Let me know your thoughts:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body >
<a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#109;&#121;&#110;&#97;&#109;&#101;&#64;&#112;&#114;&#111;&#118;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#114;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;">my e-mail</a>
</body>
</html>

No it won't. If your browser can understand those entity codes, how difficult do you think an email harvester will find it?

This guy was pointing out the ineffectivness of this technique a year ago:
