I have an issue with the way this was done.  The email addresses were left as 
links, but the links aren't valid (pops up in your email as foo at bar.com.  
Theres a couple solutions to this:

1) Don't make the email address a link
2) make the mailto be a valid link, but the words on the page not 
3) add a checkbox to the submit page to "obfuscate email", so that s/@/at, and 
not a link, or we'll leave in @ and make it a link.
