This won't work for text only users (except if you were to expose
the mail address in ALT=, which could perhaps work with traps like
ALT="don't use spamtrap(_at_)foobar, but use someuser instead of spamtrap@".

And using visual noise hinders not only OCRers but also vision impaired
(but not completely blind) people, just as does light blue on
a-bit-darker-blue writing (i.e. using text colors in HTML which result
in little contrast, best combined with small font sizes, then it
doesn't take much vision impairment to not be able to read it).

Kind regards,

Hannah.
