thye mailto macro is special. it obfuscate the mail adress only to the
non-logged users.
If you are logged in the wiki you see the adress without the
obfuscation (that's why it's a macro), so it mainly stop the robots.
And if I post here it's to have the members advice :-) thanks giving
it. Of course, I will take it into account.
I yet have to verify what the "render to docbook" do with the macro.
We also have to find a way to make sure the author understand the risk
of giving away his e-mail.
I mostly don't obfuscate my mail myself and receive 95% spams, but I
know how to deal (mostly) with them.
