Here is a simple way to do it with java script:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
  <!-- hide from older browsers
  var user = "mark";
  var site = "tippingmar.com";
  document.write('<a href=\"mailto:' + user + '@' + site + '\">');
  document.write(user + '@' + site + '<\/a>');
   // end hiding -->
</script>

Last I heard, robot harvesters don't grok java.
