E-Mail Address shown in RSS2/ATOM Feeds

While utilizing a few tools for this blog, I noticed a minor security leak in the RSS2 and Atom Feeds. I already informed Blogspirit’s support staff by using a support ticket. I advise everybody to manually edit their Feed-Templates to secure your email from being spidered by Spambots.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I noticed that you include my email-address in the RSS and ATOM Feeds without any kind of security protection.

I suggest you encode it similar to the optional email display of the side bar.

The troublesome lines are these:
—ATOM—
{if isset($post.authoremail)}
{$post.authoremail|utf8_encode}
{/if}
—ATOM—

—RSS2—
{$user.email}
—RSS2—

Best regards,
Mike Schnoor
