listfilter & mailbots

Hi Rob and Junko,

since about one year I receive Spam with an increasing rate, and I was wondering
about it, for my address is scrambled via JS in my web page, though 'clickable'.

Now I found out: if I use Google searching for my e-mail address, it returns two
pages containing my e-mail address multiple times (my signature contains it):

http://www.listfilter.com/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?thread=1&fromMonth=5&fromYear=9&toMonth=7&toYear=9&keywords=%22%22&first_res=101
http://www.listfilter.com/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?fromMonth=6&fromYear=1&toMonth=1&toYear=A&postedBy=Robert+Craig&keywords=&first_res=301

When I sent the messages about one year ago to Euforum, I was not aware of the
fact, that Mailbots (like Google) are able to scan the listfilter pages for
e-mail addresses!

Normally it's not a problem to include e-mail addresses in the body of a e-mail,
for it will not be placed on a webpage.

This might regard also others. Do you have an idea to avoid this problem? Is
there any possibility to 'repair' this?


Thanks, and have a nice day, 

Rolf
