Yes. The html entities got converted in the email but
the &-#64-; and &-#46-; for the @ and "." 

I have foo--at--bar.org. And use js to rewrite them
when the page loads. It's not accessible, because if
no js, then the email client loads with the
"foo--at--bar.org" version. I see lots of examples of
using html entities to construct the email, but i
would think the spammers have simply converted
entities back to symbols by now in their scripts when
the see "&(.*?);" in the "mailto" string. Whereas
getting througha  javascript layer would be more
difficult? (maybe not).
