Pixeline's Email Protector WordPress Plugin
Write email addresses without worrying about spambots and email harvesters.
This plugin provides an unobtrusive yet efficient protection against email harvesters / spambots.
Post/page authors may write email addresses in their article in the usual format ("john@doe.com") without exposing them to spam email harvesters. The plugin takes care of the obfuscation, implementing a graceful degradation technique focusing on usability so as to protect your email addresses from harvesters while keeping them usable to your human visitors.
The plugin replaces any email address found in posts, pages, comments and excerpts, and replace them by a bit of html markup that should deceive most email harvesters: <span class="email">john(replace the parenthesis by @)doe.com</span>.
If javascript is available, it will display a clickable link and display the original email to the human user. Maximum usability, maximum protection.
