Hi!

Plus you're still putting the
email address in the source code albeit a modified version. If this
became a popular way to handle mailtos a harvester is sure to be written
to pattern match http://.../com/... or http://.../com/au/... or whatever
at some stage and attempt to construct an email address from it.

You could either use a key in the URL.
http://example.com/mail/key
which the server resolves to an emailaddress stored in a database backend, or you could add some arbitrary string to make it more difficult for harvesters:
http://example.com/mail/me/arbitrary/stuff/to/confuse/harvesters
The domain shouldn't be needed, your server sould already know it.

It's a pity that the support for mailto: locations isn't better, though. As for now I still wouldn't attempt using it.
