Online MailTo encoder
Description: This site let's you url-form-encode/decode a string. Main purpose is to obfuscate mailto links for webpages, making them less susceptible to harvesters. There exists a second page offering the same service. Even though reported as not having caused spam, I strongly advice against using a service which requires you to enter an email address in order to sent you a result, which could have been shown directly on the page itself (as demo'ed by this page). So the only logical conclusion for this requirement can be the collecting of email addresses.
