</a>Obfuscated Email Link (Spam Protection)
Protect your email address from harvesting bots using HTML entity encoding:
Original email: contact@example.com
HTML entity obfuscated version:
<a href="mailto:contact@example.com">
contact@example.com
</a>
Browsers render this as: contact@example.com (clickable)
Bots see: HTML entities (harder to parse as an email address)

<script>
document.write('<a href="mailto:' +
'contact' + '@' + 'example.com' +
'">Contact Us</a>');
</script>Job Application Link

</a>URL Encoding Reference
The generator handles all special character encoding automatically:
Common characters and their URL encodings in mailto:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Space → %20
@ → %40 (in body/subject, not in email address)
& → %26
= → %3D
? → %3F
# → %23
+ → %2B
Line break → %0A (LF) or %0D%0A (CRLF)
[ → %5B
] → %5D
: → %3A
The generator encodes all these characters automatically.
You never need to manually encode your subject or body text.
