Details:

When an address is obfuscated due to spam mode, it is not uncommon to create
a broken hyperlink. I think it is better to not create a hyperlink at all
than to create a broken one. Examples:

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #18112 (project mhonarc):

This is a limitation of SPAMMODE, and the related resources
that allows one to rewrite addresses.

There is the 'nourl' filter option for m2h_text_plain::filter
which will disable the creation of links in text messages, but
using it may make archived messages less usable by readers.

Maybe a smarter regex can be used in address rewrite resources,
but it may have an impact performance depending on the
nature of the regex.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #18112 (project mhonarc):

The work around for this is - for us - is to detect and kill off this type of
broken at serving time. So not so critical from my perspective.

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #18112 (project mhonarc):

Note to self - here's a particularly strong example. Might be breaking for
two separate reasons.

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #18112 (project mhonarc):

For the comment #3 URL, is the "breaking" the
line breaks in the URL.  This could be how the
original data is formatted.

Examination of the raw mail data is required.
