Decrypting Anti-Spamming Email Encryption

We have all seen people encrypting their email address when printing it online. These is to prevent the spam bots from reading it. Ordinary emails like me@somewhere.com become me -|at|- somewhere -|.|- com. To test the effectiveness of such 'encryption', I have created a small regular expression based script. Just enter your encrypted email in the first box and see if my script can decrypt it.

If it fails to decrypt it, just leave the email as comment - I will see if I can modify the scirpt to decrypt it too.

In addition to the obfuscations listed above, this fails on:
testATexampleDOTcom
test-at-example-dot-com
t e s t @ e x a m p l e . c o m

I like this idea; I made one of my own decoder, as well; it catches the obfuscations I just mentioned, and most of the ones from previous comments.

It can solve the encrypted emails in the PHP Manual like at us2.php.net/echo
example (AT) GMail (DOT) com works
example)at(GMail)dot(org) almost works, but gets a ) at the end
