ExpressionEngine always encoding email addresses despite it being disabled

Hey guys,
I’m having a frustrating issue at the moment. I’m outputting my search results and when I use the {excerpt} tag, my email addresses and links are getting replaced.

As a result of this being part of the excerpt, the javascript that handles obfuscating these addresses is being chopped off, and therefore output (i.e.):

(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)/*= 0)out += unescape(l.replace(/^\s\s*/, ‘&#’));while (—...

So that’s a slight issue in itself… but the reason this is a real problem is all channels have Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links? set to NO!

I’ve verified this in the database, and I’ve verified that in the EE_Typography->encode_email() function, ee()->TMPL->encode_email is coming out as true!

Any chance this is an older site that might still have the email addresses formatted with the:

{encode="email@asitedomain.com"}

tags in the content?

Hi Kurt. No this is an EE 2.8.1 site, and the emails aren’t manually replaced in the template. It seems to be automatic (despite this feature being disabled for this channel).

96black,

I’m curious if you found a solution to this. I am experiencing the same problem on a site that is/was running EE 2.8.1. I stepped it up to 2.9.2 hoping the issue may resolve but alas the search results tags keep encoding emails.
