My turn to apologise. It seems I'm way behind in my understanding of crawlers and spiders. Thanks to several links kindly sent to me off-list, it transpires that spammers can quite easily decode these entities. The same seems to be true of Javascript although, as you rightly point out, it does require an extra step up in spider coding.
From what I can gather, at present, using images or CGI forms to contact you via your email address on your web page is the safest bet.
Regards,
Phil.
