This will obfuscate email addresses in posts in order to prevent email harvesting. There are a couple of methods available:

* Image; the email will be displayed as an image, works quite well but not very user friendly.
* HTML Entities; every character in the email address will be replaced with it's html entity. This is not a great method, but it stops stupid harvestors.
* Javascript; the link will be written via javascript, works quite well and makes the link invisible for harvestors. But requires javascript to be enabled
* Custom; roll-your-own algorithm, can be easily set in the vbulletin options in the admincp


This plugin also partially strips the email addresses in the archive (the domain name is removed).

This hack was originally released for 3.5, but it's still good and working on everything up to 3.8 so far. Excellent hack, I use it on all of mine.
