Just curious...

If I have a site that stores information about people in a database, 
including e-mail addresses, and that information is only viewable when 
called via a user-specific variable, i.e. their alias, can spambots 
still harvest those e-mail addresses?

So for instance I have a page called 'users.php' and to find the e-mail 
address for John Smith, you'd follow a link that directs you to 
users.php?alias=johnsmith - I guess my main question is, can spambots 
follow those types of links, get the resulting page, and harvest the 
address off that?

Is there any way to combat this? Any PHP scripts, classes, functions 
that can 'hide' e-mail addresses? The site I'll be building needs to 
have the e-mail addresses available, but I don't want to subject users 
to more spam than they probably already get.
