Spam protection for email addresses used in mailto links

It would be good to have the email addresses in mailto-links encypted/obfuscated so that is harder for spam bots to detect them.

The following behavior would solve this:

A regular mailto-link

mailto:[email protected]

becomes rewritten to the following snippet, which is not machine readable anymore:

javascript:decryptEmail('dGVzdExEfKLAdeLmNvbQ==');

Also the javascript decryptEmail function has to be implemented and in the best case their is a configurable salt for that which is configurable or autogenerated for every community instance.
