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.
