why do you implement a simple captcha within the formeditor?

or make a simple howto - so if someone would like to use a captcha - it can be included as simple as can.

i will like to have a captcha, but i don't know how to put it into the form. ;-)

I agree with this last point. A good email obfuscator needs to use javascript in my opinion.

I would recommend to have a look to this wonderful article

The only downfall is that you need a backup solution for those who don't have javascript activated.

It wouldn't be too difficult, I guess, to implement this solution into SS.

Is it possible to decorate a random class like DBField?
That would be useful for this. For example:
1. Install the module reCaptcha-MailHide
2. Update themes like this:
$Content.ReCaptchaMailHidden

Or, to be a bit more extensible:
1. Install the module spamprotect-reCaptcha (or any spamprotect-* module)
2. Set the preferred anti-spam mechanism in _config.php
3. Update themes like this:
$Content.SpamProtected
4. Decide that you want a different mechanism
5. Install spamprotect-yourRandomMechanism
6. Update setting in _config.php

Thoughts?

EDIT: Of course, $Content.SpamProtected should return the same as $Content if no spamprotect-* module is installed (maybe provide a default one?)

That's definately a good idea to have an EmailField, but it won't cover the possibility of inlining email adresses in the Content field for example.

Maybe that anti-spam support could be in the core, and then make a class, say AntiSpamifier, that one should subclass to implement new mechanisms?

Relevant classes could then implement a getSpamProtected method that creates a AntiSpamifier object and passes it's string through AntiSpamifier::SpamProtect() before returning it.

Still, it might be hard to make it relatively easy to validate what the user types for example in the reCaptcha field.

EDIT: Spelling.
