Safe mailto links in Wordpress using CodeIgniter

Recently I did a half-way makeover of my site/blog that included removing the contact page that only one, count them, one person ever used. Now granted it was a guy from Microsoft I had recently met and contacted me about a job opportunity, I never the less decided to get rid of the whole contact page thing and simply put an email link in my about page.  Wanting to obfuscate it from evil email harvesters, Wordpress by default doesn’t offer a easy way of doing this within a post.  That’s where the Wordpress shortcode API and CodeIgniter come in.
