People who are paranoid about spam (or just spam conscious) can obfuscate the addresses (if they want to put them in the body in the first place) themselves using simple techniques like quasar(at)vsnl(dot)com.
That doesn't work when a person replying to your mail puts in your email address at the top of his email ... he is going to take it from your "From: " header.
Replying to Philip, I think obfuscating all the email addresses within an email isn't such a bad idea ... we are not touching the headers, are we?
