I ran into a comment recently that when email providers were using keyword-based filtering, the spammers updated within days. At this point, I’d guess it doesn’t matter—Gmail’s anti-spam measures are pretty good. I keep my address on my site in the clear, and spam is pretty handleable, and lots of random people manage to email me successfully. (I’m a real go-to guy when it comes to modafinil, it seems.)
They weren’t as of July 2008. But that’s ages ago in internet time. I don’t know of anyone who’s done this experiment more recently.
