encode_email Filter is reverted by kramdowns entity_output default option

[hmbgbw]

I stumbled upon this when I tried your jekyll-plugin. Since the encode_email filter changes the signs in the email to the equivalent html-entity and the kramdown (markdown language used by jekyll) option entity_output is set to char by default (which does the exact opposite of your filter), your filter doesn’t seem to work. If you set the entity-output: as_input your filter does what it is supposed to do.

I resolved this problem by adding following code to the _config.yaml

kramdown:
  entity_output: as_input 

By the way, the GitHub Flavored Markdown behaves the same way

An example: 7 is replaced by 7 (Take a look at the sourcecode, in the editor i used the hmtl-entity)
