From the source of [[usage]]:
<a href="mailto:joey@ikiwiki.info">joey@ikiwiki.info</a>
Text::Markdown obfuscates email addresses in the href= attribute and in the text.
Apparently this can't be configured.
HTML::Scrubber doesn't set `attr_encoded` for its HTML::Parser, so the href= attribtute is decoded.
Currently it seems it doesn't set `attr_encoded` for good reason: so attributes can be sanitized easily,
e.g. as in htmlscrubber with `$safe_url_regexp`.
This apparently can't be configured either.
So I can't see an obvious solution to this.
Perhaps improvements to Text::Markdown or HTML::Scrubber can allow a fix.
One question is: how useful is email obfuscation?
Don't spammers use HTML parsers?

I've [[patch]]ed mdwn.pm to prevent Text::Markdown from obfuscating the emails.
The relevant commits are on the master branch of [my "fork" of ikiwiki on Github] [github]:
- 7d0970adbcf0b63e7e5532c239156f6967d10158

Email obfuscation is very useful --
in practice, spammers apparently don't use HTML parsers --
according to the only published study I have read
( a 2003 study by the Center for Democracy and Technology cited by
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_munging
).
