Be careful if you read my last message via a web browser; it may have shown
up as a plain text mailto instead of being encoded as entities. 

here, i've purposely broken the entities by adding spaces:
<a href="& # 109;& # 97;& # 105;& # 108;& # 116;& # 111;& # 58;& # 106;& #
111;& # 101;& # 64;& # 97;& # 111;& # 108;& # 46;& # 99;& # 111;& #
109;">me</a>
