 * Is it possible that you also implement the encoding of mail adresses written 
   with **[at]** instead of **@** too?
 * For example, if I have an email adress on my wordpress blog like:
    **name[at]
   domain.com**
 * That this one is also encoded by your plugin.
 * Can you do that? 🙂

 * Hey!
 * I’ll release a new version of the plugin in the next days which will allow you
   to easily manipulate the regular expression, so you can parse your special @ 
   too.
 * Cheers,

 * With version 1.0.2 you can do a fancy override of the regular expression like
   that: `<?php add_filter('eae_regexp', function($pattern) { return str_replace('\
   @', '(\@|\[at\])', $pattern); }); ?>`

 * …and besides, I don’t want to parse my “@”, I write the mail-adresses in my posts
   and pages with “[at]”. So it would be great if mail-adresses written that way,
   will be encoded too! 😉

 * If I change line 62 in email-address-encoder.php (ver 1.0.1) from
 * `\@`
 * to
 * `\@|\[at\]`
 * that does exactly the job!
 * So I would appreciate, if you could include that in one of your next updates.

 * Hey!
 * I won’t include your desired changed in the plugin, it’s too much of a corner
   case. However I version 1.0.2 introduced the `eae_regexp` [filter](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API),
   as written earlier, which allows you to override the regular expression pattern
   yourself.
 * Just place the code written code in your Theme’s `functions.php` or in a [Must Use Plugin](http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins).
 * Cheers!

 * how about just implement a setting, where you can choose to change the `@` into`[
   at]` or even better the plugin converses all `@` automatically into `[at]`. that
   would also raise the security. a mix of antispam-technology is better than just
   one method.

 * I intent to keep this plugin simple for overall compatibility. If you want to
   convert @ into [at] you can use the `eae_method` filter, but this will break 
   mailto-links.
