Plugins - graceful mailto obfuscator

gracefully obfuscates emails as described in a list apart: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/gracefulemailobfuscation

calling mail_to("me@mail.com", "mail me") will generate a link with the href /contactto/new/zr+znvy+pbz, and the classname "obfuscated".

for users who do not have javascript turned on, /contactto/new collects a message which can be submitted to an action which sends the email, without it ever being divulged.

when javascript is turned on, a behaviour converts the obfuscated anchor into a normal mailto: link with the orignal email address. spam bots will now bounce off your site like frustrated popcorn.
