I did a

find "@"

search in my FTP area and eliminated all the exposed email addresses and 
either added a link to a mailform or replaced the mailto: with a browser 
parsed javascript (no email adresses visible in the text)

still a legacy of them, luckily they are all "dispensible" so get deleted 
when incoming

Liverpool University Alumni published all email addresses of the alumni 
"visible" ( mailto:) so am still being festooned at my hotmail address as 
they seem to refuse to take them down :)
