Up to now there are two solutions given:

1) use images + javascript [1]
2) use a feedback form that allows one to post from the site. [2]
3) use javascript to call a mailclient [3]

ad 1)
 pro's: +people can use their default mailing program
 con's: -Rules of good accessibility are broken (eg non-visual
browsers)
        -not all-browser-proof (javascript)
ad 2)
 pro's: +email adresses can be hidden totally
        +feedback can be maintained in the CMS
 con's: -users cannot use their default mail program
        -bigger overhead: you have to provide programs online, that 
         otherwise clients would run themselcves 
        (php+server vs. mailprogram)
ad 3)
 pro's: +seems very spam proof
 con's: -not all-browser-proof (javascript)

some reference in the mails given:

It was discussed a couple of time already and loads of possible
solutions were mentioned. I think hiding email adresses needs a place
in the projects, since there are loads of good solutions and drupal
will need one too.

My solution would be to use the feedback module:
I had another idea. that would be to filter all emailadresses (in
content too) into a link to the feedback module.

thus http://www.mysite.org/feedback/mailto/me/mysite.org

the feedback can then print a form that can send the message to
[email protected].

Any pro's and contra's? other ideas?
