How do I prevent web bot from picking up an email address off of a web site?

I want to use a program where if someone wants to send me email, they must type in a graphic password to do it. Yahoo uses somthing similar.. I am trying to find a ready made solution to this problem.

The mailto: line in HTML is what web bots use to pick up an email address from a site. Or the bot may pick it off the page from text when you do not have a mailto: line.

Looking for web bot spam prevention.
