Actually, the correct way to link to an email address is to use mailto: in front of the email address when linking to it. For example :
Code:
<a href="mailto:example@example.com">Contact Us</a>

It is a pretty good service, it converts normal ascii characters to html entities.
Another way to avoid this type of spam is to use a contact us form instead of providing an email address. Using a contact form also enables you to mail the message to multiple recepients, classify it into a category, archive it and then send it to the concerned individual for example tech support or billing etc.
