- In its current state, no. Someone would have to write code for that or
  package an extension.
- CAPTCHAs are broken anyway (we've found spammers cracking the captchas
  we use and a lot of sites that use reCAPTCHA are getting invalid edits
  from bots).
- Attempting to disguise the address to trick automated email harvesters
  may help but won't get rid of all spam.
