A better alternative would be not to show the email at all, not even in obfuscated style. no email shown at all, only names => no robots.
No, the robots would still be there, potentially querying the heck out of the database and causing slowdowns for real users (as I said in the part you snipped out, openoffice.org's issuezilla is seeing this happen). While I agree that obscuring email addresses is something that should be done, it doesn't help with the load placed on the query engine by robots blindly following canned query links like those on http://kegel.com/openoffice without regard for the robot exclusion protocol. - Dan
