Gerry,
If a human being can read it, so can a spambot. New techniques might be
developed all the time, but you shouldn't bet against spammers bringing
themselves up to date with those techniques too.
If the user wishes to display their e-mail address on a web page, they
should ensure they have good spam-filtering.
You might consider using some sort of CAPTCHA image, but that isn't
guaranteed to work flawlessly, and reading an e-mail address in a
CAPTCHA image would be hard work.
