The best way to avoid this is to not include 'real' email addresses anywhere on
the site, but instead to encode them in such a way that the netcrawlers will
likely miss them, for example I could give out my email address as
'tsmitATshawDOTca', and most people would be able to figure out what to do with
that (although I've had a couple of people say 'gee, I've never seen an email
address like yours, and it doesn't work'). Unfortunately, doing this prevents
you from including hypertext links to people's email so you can automatically
spawn a mail composer window.
