E-mail -- E-mail grabbing webbots
Do you know if E-mail grabbing webbot scan the raw file (at least the one returned by the server, even after PHP processing) -or- the resultant file that's generated after things like Javascript has been processed?

PHP just returns an HTML file. The processing is all done by the server. The webbots can scan the entire resulting file, but not the original PHP file.

Using javascript might work, as long as the E-mail addresses are not stored as xxx@yyy.zzz. That is, many webbots scan the entire file for strings of the xxx@yyy.zzz format. If you use some other character instead of the at-sign, you can then use javascript to replace that character with an at-sign. That'll probably work.
