Protect event host emails from email harvesting #162

Description

@annakrystalli

A number of approaches discussed in these posts 1 & 2. Suggest going for:

  1. a mix of machine but not human readable character encoding (eg using https://realpython.com/python-encodings-guide/) or
  2. Introducing html comments into the address? (won't be able to deploy mailto: functionality though)
  3. This django snippet also looks like an interesting approach! It uses a substitution cipher with a different key for every page load. It basically produces equivalent Javascript code for an email address. This code when executed by browser make it mailto link.(If implemented, please remember to credit in a comment in the code).
