    Read ahead to find out.

    Just use an image with your email ID.So no one can right click and copy that email ID.

    Actually spamming bot reads the code and they look for mailto: and gets whatever afterward. Its a good tip to make it a image but still if you link it to mailto: then its still available for spam bots.

    Bots will look for @ symbols, and mailto to identify email addresses.
    Don't go for hex values. If you want a clickable link, Javascript is the only real choice.
