Please provide a URL to a web page showing this behaviour and I'll see what I can do. If possible, several web pages would be even better.

6 years ago An example using a fake email as part of the story from Everyone Loves Large Chests: interlude - Another day at the office - In this chapter there is a conversation using emails. "From: noreply@demons.r.us" is changed to "From: [email protected]".
An example using a fake email as part of the story from Kuro’s Days: Chapter 30 Addition - "From: Patricia Bluebell Pa.Bluebell@MATV.com" is changed to "From: Patricia Bluebell <[email protected]>"
I also remember seeing an example of it appearing when someone was cursing and had the @ symbol in it like $%!@%^~ but I couldn't find the book
Another one was a magic spell that had it.
Basically it's annoying cause (i think) it just randomly appears when a @ is there.

6 years ago Looking at the page, https://royalroadl.com/fiction/8894/everybody-loves-large-chests/chapter/149836/interlude-another-day-at-the-office The raw HTML for noreply@demons.r.us, is
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="513f3e2334213d281135343c3e3f227f237f2422">[email protected]</a>The other emails in the text are similar.
Likewise, Pa.Bluebell@MATV.com is
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8cdceda2cee0f9e9eee9e0e0ccc1cdd8daa2efe3e1">[email protected]</a>A quick Google suggests this is the CDN obfuscating anything it thinks is an email address, to make life difficult for people scraping emails. However, I think I can fix this. See: https://usamaejaz.com/cloudflare-email-decoding/
When using Web to Epub I would randomly encounter these when an email is used. But alot of the times it's a fake email in the story or not even an email at all and all of a sudden theres just [email protected]. I don't really understand the point of this because it's easy to find the email if it is gathered by web to epub. Like if an author is like email me here for ____. You would find the email either way even if it is blocked. So would there be a way to remove it?
