Last year I commented on this list that I found ProtectEmail satisfactory, but complaints from some of my users with email addresses on my website receiving spam made me investigate further.
First I found an improved version by Damien from 2008 that improves the hiding algorithm (http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ProtectEmail#version2008) I thought I would test it on the various typical mailto: links found on my wikis (http://kiwiwiki.co.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Test/ProtectEmail) using the link suggested by Damien. (http://aspirine.org/cgi-bin/trouvemail.pl?lang=en<http://aspirine.org/cgi-bin/trouvemail.pl?lang=en&url=http://kiwiwiki.co.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Test/ProtectEmail&mode=malin> ) I was very distressed to find that of my nine examples only two were picked up the regex expression that locates mailto: expressions, and it was not the simple ones I expected. (To do this view the source of the page) I will try to look at the regex, but I'm a novice. This is just a general warning that if you are using this recipe it is likely, based on my experience, that your email addresses are exposed to the world. Simon
