I was about ready to do this, but it seems you beat me to it! ;-)

Yay! Thank you! Will I be able to put the string at random locations
too? That would help in case the spammers ever get smart (yeah, right!)
and decided to start looking for string at the end or beginning of an
e-mail address.
Hey, I'm willing to do anything to annoy the damn spammers! =-)

Ditto. . .was the older version of Yarf able to do this? And is the new

Hehehe. . .I did the N?-Sp?m thing, using the random vowel feature of
Yarf to have different vowels in there. . .now my wish is to be able to
put it anywhere in the e-mail address. Tim?
