There are many ways, but none of them is guaranteed. Basically, anything that a web browser can use as a clickable link, a web spider can be programmed to read. The current favourite seems to be a Javascript procedure to generate the link (invoked by onclick). However, I hear that some of the spam spiders are smart enough already to handle these. Note that if you go this route, you'd do best to write your own rather than borrow someone else's code - the more different procedures there are, the harder the spammers' task. But if your email address is on the spammers' lists, it's probably too late anyway.
