I think that it would be a great idea to implement a plugin that allowed us to use the Mailhide service by reCAPTCHA.
This service shows a part of your email and censors out the rest of it.
To reveal the email you have to click on the censored part of the email and it will bring up another window with a CAPTCHA in it. After you solve the CAPTCHA the email is revealed.
To my knowledge, this would not be a very hard plugin to code.
The reason we can't just use the Mailhide service without a plugin is that it requires the use of HTML which is disabled by default.
Pros: You hide your email address from crawlers that can grab your email to send you spam.
Cons: None that I can think of, as it would be optional for you to use.

EDIT: To clarify, it would use tags like [hideemail][/hideemail] so you won't HAVE to do it.
