Seriously, though.. If they don't want bot-harvests, they're going to have
to remove the mailto: link altogether, and replace the dork@xxxxxxxx text
with a graphic. The customer won't get the auto "create-mail" feature, but
if they can't type in an email address, then you've got bigger problems.
That, or they have to be OK with it being harvested.
