So picture it, as a last resort you've taken a job as a job for your local spam house. Your job is to harvest email addresses. They need a programmer to come up with some new ways to populate their database of known addreses. What is the first thing you do?

foo AT bar DOT com 'obfuscated' addressesHex encoded addresses
JavaScript 'encoded' addresses foo@REMOVEbar.com
