Bug Description
Malone hides (actually replaces with some text) email addresses to anonymous users, which breaks URLs containing email addresses. See bug #199014 for an example.

Hi Adrien,
thanks for the bug report. Email obfuscation was implemented as part of bug 140575 and bug 60195 due privacy concerns. As a policy we don't display email addresses for anonymous users, so I'm setting this bug as won't fix. If in the future the policy changes or the value of having a clickable link for anonymous users outweighs the value of protecting users email from spam harvesters, we might re-open this report.
Thanks again.
