You can always keep your email address private by choosing that option in your Profile page. If someone needs to get hold of you, you can post your email address as "user at domain dot com", ala slashdot.

Unfortunately, the email address field in the profile gets a new password set to it if it's changed. I'm assuming this means it has to be formatted properly. If we make our profile email address invisible to others, there is nowhere else in the profile to put the "user at domain dot com" version that isn't intrusive. (... basically, the sig and interests which print on every single post are the only free text fields available.)
