How about:

<script>
var username = "benjer";
var hostname = "macmail.com";
var email = username + "@" + hostname;
var link = "<a href='mailto:" + email + "' ";
var mover = "MM_swapImage(\"email\",\"\",\"images/email_f2.gif\",1)";
var mout = "MM_swapImgRestore()";
var img = "<img src='images/email.gif' alt='email' name='email'
width='31' height='16' border='0' />";
link += "onmouseover='" + mover + "' ";
link += "onmouseout='" + mout + "'>";
link += img;
link += "</a>";
document.write(link);
</script>

You can condense this code, but I left it expanded like this to simplify
what's going on. You'll note that var mover contains escaped double
quotes. I think that this is the only place you'll need to escape
quotes.
