Automatically encodes every email address in a mailto tag on posts, pages, sidebar widgets and post/page meta values to prevent spam. Simply decodes any previously encoded email address by just clicking the email link.

This plugin does not have any graphical user interface - just activate it in your WordPress backend and let it do its job.

The enduser behavior is the same as usual as if the email address was not encoded. Clicking the email address link forces a real-time decoding provided by JavaScript.
