Hmm, maybe you mean create_html_mailto() from urlutils.py that has an
argument `email_obfuscation_mode''.  This is governed by variable
CFG_WEBSTYLE_EMAIL_ADDRESSES_OBFUSCATION_MODE.  But this obfuscation is
not used in every module.

BTW, some time ago Travis noticed that Google crawlers apparently
deobfuscate email addresses that were obfuscated by popular JavaScript
obfuscation methods.  So it would seem that some web crawlers probably
interpret JavaScript to some extent.  So much for our obfuscation
attempts... :)
