Email seeking robots are quite intelligent, they can fill in forms etc. After all, there are people working on those for profit all the time. NT serves our emails unprotected, so even the simplest script can grab them. I have a few emails and the one listed on NT receives over 300% more spam than the other ones together. Bummer? Bummer.
Good antispam tip: disable live image loading in your email software (OE doesn't support this). Image files quite often have unique triggers attached to inform the spammer that someone picked up the email, so he knows the address is active and can be used for further spamming.

Use mozillas thunderbird for email, works just like OE but so much better and safer:

horton. i, for a very short period of time was using a different email address ONLY for nt. it was used no where else.
i got on a few people one day who were spamming the pbs and the next thing i know i'm getting at least one email a day from 'paypal' just like the ones you described.
so i junk the address and go back to my current address and wouldn't you know it, i'm getting a ton of spam right now.
it's fucking bullshit.
