best combination to display a clickable, readable and copy/paste enabled email address which will avoid the spam bots (as much as possible)?

  1. convert email address to ascii

name@site.com
name@site.com

  1. and use javascript
<a href="name [at] site.com" rel="nofollow"
onclick="this.href='mailto:' + 'name' + '@' + 'site.com'">
&#100;&#097;&#118;&#105;&#100;&#064;&#097;&#109;&#098;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#120;&#116;&#114;&#111;&#046;&#099;&#111;&#109;</a>
