Is there a name for replacing @ with "at" and . with "dot"?

Is there a name for replacing @ with "at" and . with "dot"? Many users and forum programs in attempt to make automatic e-mail address harvesting harder modify them replacing @ character with "at" and . character with "dot".

As well as obfuscation, it is often referred to less formally as "munging".

"Anti-Spambot Encoding ?

Of course the opposite then would be 'Anti-spambot Decoding' ;-)

But on a more serious note: I think @David is right with his 'munging'.
Even more specifically: Address munging would be the right term (according to Wikipedia)."
