The spammers are out there, and they are relentless.
You leave one unprotected email address in a post and they will find it.
emOba does a nice job of hiding your email addresses whether you have the email address embedded in a link or displayed as text.
If you are using a plugin like WP Touch to make your site mobile-device friendly, be sure to copy the CSS code from Emoba’s CSS file into the mobile theme’s file or the @s are going to appear huge.
