[TYPO3] spam protect/jumpurl

[Chris Paige]

Hello all,

I had been using spamProtectEmailAddresses=ascii, which was very cool.  However I have just realized that running HTML tidy on the content destroys this protection by putting HTML entities back to characters.  (Any known work arounds that I have missed?)

I don't want javascript solutions, since I work with enough Ludites with ancient computers and ill-kept browsers to make my life challenging.

So, now I am exploring this redirect-mailto spam protection strategy: http://jamesthornton.com/software/redirect-mailto.html

Since TYPO3 already has jumpurl features in place, I wondered if anyone had ever considered integrating this strategy in some way?  Here's my assessment:

-- Currently, using jumpurl_enable disables the spamProtectEmailAddresses features.  If spamProtectEmailAddresses_atSubst and spamProtectEmailAddresses_lastDotSubst were applied to the label, this would make it useful as a protection from spam harvesters.  The email address in the jumpurl would automatically be partially obscured within the href tag.  This would be a working solution requiring minimal adjustment to core.

-- I don't need jumpurl on regular http links and am not concerned about the click tracking features of jumpurl (Right now). So an alternative (theoretical) spamProtectEmailAddresses=jumpurl could also be very useful (or jumpurl_mailto_enable ).  An ideal situation would break up the email address within the jumpurl parameter... 

instead of --- jumpurl=mailto%3Ausername%40domain.com
it would be something like --- jumpurl=mailto&jumpuname=username&jumpdname=domain.com

This would be more involved to integrate.

Any feedback?  Has this been discussed before (I couldn't find any relevant threads...)?
