Mangle email addresses

[moschny@…]

In the ticket view all email addresses (for reporter, cc's, commenters, etc.) really should be mangled in order to protect those email addresses against spammers.

The same applies to the wiki history view.

Does mangling of email addresses actually help against spam these days? What kind of mangling should we do?

There is some discussion of this topic here:

Of course other, more efficient techniques are needed to fight against spam.

But meanwhile we should not make it too easy for those address grabbers. Even the simplest mangling, e.g. replacing all non alphanumeric characters in an address (like '@' and '.') with human-readable equivalents (like 'at' and 'dot') will help.
