Emailing a member through the MLU Email link works the same way - the addresses can't be read by the spiders which look for stuff like that; what the bugs look for is the '@' sign in the raw text - even just replace it with a '_at_' or similar, which can be manually changed back before sending a message, and they won't recognise the text string as an email address.
There, consider yerself edjumacated...
