Some of these image generating apps are even using a background similar 
to the color blindness tests. I think even an image recognition program 
would have a hard time with those.

I am not sure this is really going to help, because the e-mail

AT any DOT com) in the web archives?


That isn't a real solution. Any standard way of munging addresses in a
reversable way will result in spammers writing a tool to extract the
addresses. So if you don't spammers to get addresses off the web 
archives,
then you don't want addresses there.

Check this out:

They only show graphical images of the return addresses.  You'd have 
to use text recognition software to harvest them.

Don't know what software they use, though; might be homegrown for all 
I know.
