What if a visitor cannot have javascript on? You make the email spam 
problem not only yours but also the one of your visitors. The only 
option to avoid spam is to have an email form, or a link pointing to an 
ID in a database, period.

You can do "clever" things with Javascript or text encoding, but you 
punish  your visitors that way.
