They actually do.  The paper template only uses '{author|obfuscate}',
'{author|person}' and '{author|user}'.  For example, in this page:

    http://selenic.com/repo/index.cgi/hg/rev/6aafd75fb924

you can see:

    author: Matt Mackall <mpm...>

However, if you check the page source (Ctrl + U on firefox), you'll find
the following:

    ...
    <table id="changesetEntry">
    <tr>
        <th class="author">author</th>
        <td class="author">&#77;&#97;&#116;...</td>
    </tr>
    ...

So the source is a bit obfuscated.  Of course this does not stop
sophisticated bots to still gather email addresses.  If you have an idea
on how to protect such information you could write a template filter.
Check the mercurial/templatefilters.py file to see some examples.

Cheers.
