    var prefix = '&#109;a' + 'i&#108;' + '&#116;o';
    var path = 'hr' + 'ef' + '=';
    var addy7ad9a6870991edb81cb087e0898864cd = 't&#105;m' + '&#64;';
    addy7ad9a6870991edb81cb087e0898864cd = addy7ad9a6870991edb81cb087e0898864cd + 't&#105;mc&#111;&#111;p&#101;r' + '&#46;' + 'c&#111;m';
    var addy_text7ad9a6870991edb81cb087e0898864cd = 't&#105;m' + '&#64;' + 't&#105;mc&#111;&#111;p&#101;r' + '&#46;' + 'c&#111;m';document.getElementById('cloak7ad9a6870991edb81cb087e0898864cd').innerHTML += ''+addy_text7ad9a6870991edb81cb087e0898864cd+'';

But a customer misspells it This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

document.getElementById('cloakd8052a72546a87b4e98bff0dd33a375c').innerHTML = ''; var prefix = 'ma' + 'il' + 'to'; var path = 'hr' + 'ef' + '='; var addyd8052a72546a87b4e98bff0dd33a375c = 'tom' + '@'; addyd8052a72546a87b4e98bff0dd33a375c = addyd8052a72546a87b4e98bff0dd33a375c + 'timcooper' + '.' + 'com'; var addy_textd8052a72546a87b4e98bff0dd33a375c = 'tom' + '@' + 'timcooper' + '.' + 'com';document.getElementById('cloakd8052a72546a87b4e98bff0dd33a375c').innerHTML += ''+addy_textd8052a72546a87b4e98bff0dd33a375c+'';
