Don't worry about the body. It's the posters' responsibilities to 
protect other people e-mail addys when they post. The headers should be 
the primary concern. Bodies rarely have e-mail addys in them, and 
headers always have e-mail addys in them, so the focus should be on the 
headers.

Just use HTML numeric character references to encode things that look 
like email-addresses. E.g.:
"@" --> (
".com" -> &#2e;?&#6f;

Most spammers haven't yet figured out how to convert HTML numeric 
character references yet, so this should work.

That episode gave me an opportunity to test out Thunderbird's mail filters.
