Hi Christopher,
Your javascript solution is very elegant, but unfortunately exactly this 
is the bait: we must not use any javascript except for 
spamProtectEmailAddresses.
I've searched quite a bit to solve this issue (it *can* be solved, it's 
absolutely possible to automate this), but did not find an answer so 
far. Perhaps I'm looking at this from a wrong angle?
