Plugin to replace simple names with email addresses in outgoing contact forms?

It seems that the mailto: link does not work for many people who use browser-based email clients like gmail and yahoo unless their browser client is specifically set up as the client for the mailto: link. Otherwise the link opens a blank tab or does nothing. Since many people will never know to do the specific set-up, the mailto: link is becoming useless.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem?

I’ve seen sites that protect email addresses with a link to “Person1” that opens a general contact form that is emailed through the server to the actual email address for Person1. A link to “Person2” sends the general contact form to Person2’s email address, and so on. I assume there’s a simple table identifying the true email address for each “Person” and does the true addressing when the form is sent.

There are plenty of email obfuscation options, but they still rely on the mailto:/email-client connection to work. I haven’t been able to find a plugin that will get around the email-client connection and instead do the the simple substitution for an outgoing contact form. Can anyone point me to a plugin that can do this?

Thanks in advance
