Replace Email Addresses with Email Forms
Instead of displaying raw email addresses on our site, we should offer a simple form to send an email to that address instead.
1) Webmail users [i.e. those who do not have a desktop MUA] would otherwise have to visit and log in to their webmail app each time they encountered an address they wanted to email. This is a severe break in flow of the web experience just to send a message.
2) Raw emails open the possibility of those addresses being spam-harvested - it's a common courtesy to those who show their emails that we make some attempt to
3) The ability to simply type and press send probably makes it more likely that they will send such messages.
There could be some option to reveal [via a captcha] the email address, if that's really what they want to do.
