Escaping email address in content

I need to list email addresses in page content. Does anybody know a nice and easy method how to escape it? I know how to do this in a smarty template, but I'd like to know how this can be done in web page content.
A Solution

Ok, I have made a tag that does the job. Just download it, rename *.txt to *.zip, and unpack into the plugins directory. Then select Extensions->Tags, find 'spamprotect' in the list and read help.
The tag returns a valid XHTML email link with obscurred text to prevent spambots from identifying the link as an email address.
How about including it into the standard CMSMadeSimple installation? Or have I chosen the hard way not knowing an easier solution?

The only thing that was wrong with it was that if failed to find it when I needed it

Other than that, it does exactly what I needed and what I tried to do. Why not include it in the standard cmsmadesimple installation? I think it's one of the most important tags to be used by cmsmadesimple users.

I've marked that feature request as complete since you can just use the built-in mailto Smarty tag to encode email addressess:

Was he asking to be able to just list them or have them clickable to make your email client start a new email, if you know what I mean.
EDIT: OK

As per this, I think he meant have a clickable link:
