 * Just a heads up regards false positives from the plugin.
 * What do I mean ?
 * Basically, the encoding does encode the email address but encodes it to a ‘phatom’
   email address.
 * Example
 * [info@somedomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-encoding-false-positive/info@somedomain.com?output_format=md)
   is on the webpage it gets encoded but we get an warning message that says ‘unprotected
   email address’ as the encoding has created the text ‘vasb@tenaqzvangbe.pbz’ which
   obviously is being interpreted as an ’email address’
 * Kind Regards

 * Hey! I rant into the same issue and added the ROT47 technique to solve it. Switch
   to that, it offers better protection as well 👌🏻
