Obfuscate e-mail addresses in html output (AntiSpam module)

[orchardbot]

AntiSpam could process the html output, search for all e-mail addresses and obfuscate them in some way, so they're not easily readable for spambots. With a help of some javascript those obfuscated e-mail addresses could be reversed, possibly also turned into mailto links.

I'd implement this.

Sounds like a great module, but I would not put this in the core anti-spam module.

I could do this in a separate module, but I think this is a common antispam scenario, although admittedly it wouldn't use or need anything from the current AntiSpam module.

A very useful module indeed. I currently use CSS to do this, but would be great to have such a module.

A few ideas:

• Would be a result filter
• Extension point in form of events for more complex tasks
• Regex rules: match and replace; before running either they're tokenized
• Include default rule for e-mail obfuscation (this might be through the extension point as this would need some css too); good compilation of simple methods: http://techblog.tilllate.com/2008/07/20/ten-methods-to-obfuscate-e-mail-addresses-compared/
