I think it is trickier than on first sight.
if you won't show the real email-addresses (harvesters!) you have to 
'translate' them, either direct in the form (this means: knowing the 
mechanism anyone can use your form to send SPAM) or having a table with 
indexes. the last may be given with fe_users or tt_address (use the uid 
and name in the form to select the email for receiving mail)

this means a editor has to know the uid of the fe_user/tt_address-record 
-uid to make a link to the contact-form for preselection.
no automatism to insert an email in content and build a link to contactform.

I think if you want it completly automatically you have to change 
TYPO3-core in a very heavy way.
collecting emails from content and build an own table for this 
'translation', then, on sending mail, you have to search in these 
records for the email.
