If you don't need the address to be hyperlinkable, you can put the user, @ and domain in different table cells. Or even put each letter in a separate cell. Could even set the border, cellspacing and cellpadding to 0 to make it not look like a table. While that deterrent isn't insurmountable, I suspect most, if not all, harvesting programs don't go to that length.
