Your signature includes a standard encrypted email address to prevent

The times that harvesters care about usenet addresses are long past,

Neaely all the email spam I get to see nowadays is ostensibly from
other users of my own ISP, who are either phishing for my email
password  so they can send out spam in my name too, or sending me an
account for something I've never bought, presumably hoping that I am a
lowly creditors clerk in a large firm who will pay accounts without
checking.

The spam almost invariably requires one to click on something, and as
my mail reader is set to plain text only (partly to avoid such
spammers' tricks) I never seen the place where they want one to click.
