First, I have seen a huge spam surge lately. I use unique email
addresses for each mailing list, however, and very few of that spam had
this email address (actually - none had this, and very little had my
previous mail address).
I'm not saying that what you are asking for is not reasonable, just that
it's not necessarily the source.

I say "go for it". HTML encoding should be sufficient as a first step.
If necessary - we can use a javascript encoding (check my site out for a
rather primitive example of that).
