We're getting some spam, which we suspect maybe due to bots scraping our email address from this webpage.

The longer-term solution to this is to create a proper external-facing email address that we can subject to more aggressive spam-filtering.

But in the meantime, a little bit of cosmetic obfuscation should ward off the dumber crawlers that don't evaluate embedded Javascript.

Cool! I think spam is inevitable for stuff like this, but happy to do this if you want to give it a shot. 😃

Can I ask if the <font face="Arial"> tag serves a purpose?
