Yes, but the second part could be easily read by a robot.

RE: Gmail Sig
Something like me[Image: Gmail4.gif] couldn't be used by a robot unless it was coded to detect that specific image, or it had some kind of OCR... ^o)

The important thing is not to make it a link, because if you do this:
code:
[email=spam@shoutbox.menthix.net][img]http://guillaumelforum.theglassprison.net/gmail.png[/img][/email]

[Image: gmail.png]

Then the robots can simply get the address from the HTML link code (<a href="mailto:...">).
