What about Bots rendering javascript (like your browser) look trough the (rendered) DOM and simulate the return value of the click event attached to "a" tags?

In my opinion there is no "Real" solution for this. It will prevent basic html fetch bots to receive email-adresses, but once a more sophisticated bot has an email address you will find it soon it a number of databases used for spamming.
