You could write the address the way you suggested, you could also write the address with graphic, but ensure its writing in a way graphic reading spambot cannot read.

However this has proven untrue for my users. I received complaints that it is impossible to mail me because the address 'doesn't work'.

Do you think it would be better to write the address like that: somebody[@]something.com? People should notice the brackets, shouldn't they? Wii spambots understand that it is an address?
