Would it be wise to change the text-based display of email-addresses in a .gif or .jpeg version? Spam-senders are known for crawling forums and harvesting text-based email-addresses, and I never heard of .jpeg-collection spiders

isn't it that way now?
I mean you have to go to the personal information page about a user to get the email adress in the first place, seems a bit to ehm 'omslachtig' for a bot to me...

Cool! Just in case you didn't know (and it can be useful for others here with websites) there is a script available called Wpoison that will wreak havoc with spammers using crawlers to gather email addresses.
I have never used it myself, but a couple of friends have and found quite good.

This small script hides your e-mail address.
Adjust to taste of course
<SCRIPT>email='<A HREF="mail'+'to:'+'Jef_Klak_at_yahoo.com"><img class="icon" src="img/letter1.gif" alt="Contact"></A>'; document.write(email.replace(/_at_/gi, '@'))</SCRIPT>
Cheerz,
