Yes, but is stops the scrape 'n spammers who get the easy-to-reach addresses off the web page. The subscribed spammers at least have a verified email address, which is too easy to whack for the amount of trouble they went to. Spammers go fo massive bulk; subscribing to mailing lists doesn't fit the profile for the majority of them.
