It depends on obfuscating technique.

That's you say so and nobody else suggest this so far. Most simple way is
using [at] without mailto: at all. More complex way with maximum
functionality and maximum protection:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="achemail.js"></SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT>
ache [at] nagual.pp.ru</NOSCRIPT>

achemail.js:
------------------------------------------------------
emailname = "ache"
emailserver = "nagual.pp.ru"

document.write("<a href='mailto:" + emailname + "&#64;" + emailserver + "'>");
document.write(emailname + "&#64;" + emailserver);
document.write("</a>");
-------------------------------------------------------
