 * I had a couple problems getting MailHide to work and thought I’d share in case
   anyone else is having them too.
 * When I first activated the plugin and enabled MailHide on posts/pages, it would
   convert the addresses to the partial format (e.g., foo…@bar.com), but it wouldn’t
   generate the link to let users get the entire address until I filled in the ‘
   Replace Link With’ option. The documentation doesn’t mention that, and it’s unintuitive,
   so I think that should be addressed in a future release.
 * The second problem is that if you make the address a link in your post, the plugin
   won’t convert it to the partial format at all, it will just leave it unmodified.
   I haven’t found a fix for that yet.
