Is there a radius tag that does the equivalent of rails’ mail\_to tag?  
I want to encode mailto links so it is harder for spambots to harvest  
any email addresses. In rails, I would do the following:

\<%= mail\_to(“removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”, “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”, :subject =\>  
“Product Question”, :encode =\> “javascript”) %\>.

but i can’t find anything like that in radiant…

thanks.

There has been some talk of adding support for this, but nothing has  
made it into the core.

The markdown text-filter will encode the address into html entities  
if that is all you need.
