Email address encryption

[nannie]

Is it possible to encrypt an email address posted on a website to avoid
address harvesting? Is the free encryption software available out on the web
safe?

I use JavaScript for email addy's on my site, can't vouch for the success,
but I don't receive allot of group spam. Here's the
code.

<script language=javascript>
<!--
var username = "username";
var hostname = "Domain.com";
var linktext = "Click Here To Send Me Email";
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + username + "@" + hostname +
">"
+ linktext + "</a>")
//-->
</script>

I have used it but I did get some spam so I went back to the JavaScript

Nannie,

The best thing to do is to use a form and send the results
to a server-side script.

I use alias' to 'hide' the real address and am wondering if others
have gone this route too and what their 'success' rate was? It just
seems easier...especially if it works.
