Just wondering what you people do to hide email links from those evil spammers?

I am currently using the following, its the cleanest way I've seen but I am beginning to get paranoid... is this secure enough?

Code:

<script language=javascript>
<!--
var username = "username";
var hostname = "domain.com";
var linktext = username + "@" + hostname;
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + username +
"@" + hostname + ">" + linktext + "</a>")
//-->
</script>

That looks like a decent way.

I've seen people create an image that has the email text in it.

I just use a form processed by PHP on my site.

Seems to work so far, 3 months and no guff..
