Suggestion: email addy obfuscation

This is what I'm using... perhaps it could be added to all email addy calls in a future version of bNC.

function hex_conv($email) {
// converts string to hexidecimals
$encoded = bin2hex($email);
$encoded = chunk_split($encoded, 2, '%');
$encoded = '%' . substr($encoded, 0, strlen($encoded) - 1);
return $encoded;
}

function conv_email($email) {
// creates an anchor tag for emails that is hopefully
// unreadable by spam spiders.
$hex_email = hex_conv($email);
$email = ereg_replace ("@", " AT ", $email);
$email = ereg_replace ("\.", " DOT ", $email);
return "<a href=\"mailto:" . $hex_email . "\">" . $email . "</a>";
}
