Anything that you can visually identify and decode with minimal effort,
spammers can (and probably already have) as well. For instance, "foo at
bar dot com" is well known to be totally useless. It would help if people
who want to contribute to this thread did some research first. :)

One thing that does seem to work for personal web pages is to put your
email address in a graphic. That at least raises the bar quite a bit.
