Comment (by marcusl):

 This is taken care of in the Jinja templates, via the
 [https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/blob/master/master/buildbot/status/web/base.py#L473
 emailfilter()] function. It injects a {{{div style='display:none'>}}} tag
 in the middle of the e-mail, which is reported to be reasonably efficent
 against scapers.

 Of course, we could/should allow the user to configure their own e-mail-
 filter (to obfuscate or eliminate parts of the e-mail) if the default
 functionality isn't enough. However, I'd like to point out that we're not
 entirely naive about it. :)

 For now, you could monkey-patch status.web.base.emailfilter (before
 creating WebStatus) to replace the current with your own.

 ''Related: Not sure if the JSON api filters e-mail addresses this way. I
 suspect it may not, and then we're indeed wide-open to web scrapers, but
 that can probably be remedied easily enough...''
