Spambot Email Protector 2.02: Bug with Text Fields?

It looks like the 2.02 version of the Spambot plugin is only encoding emails when they are hard-coded or come from the CMS via a WYSIWYG field, but not when the "mailto:" is in the page code and the email address loads from CMSB via a text field. Ex:

<a href="mailto:<?php echo $record['email_address']; ?>">

We have similar code on a site using the 2.01 version on CMSB 3.09, which does not have this issue. 

If I change $GLOBALS['SEP_ENCODING_METHODS']['comments'] or $GLOBALS['SEP_ENCODING_METHODS']['tags'] to true then that encoding will load, what specifically isn't kicking in is the javascript portion. For example, via WYSIWYG:

href="javascript:void(window.location=%27mailto:%6d\u006f%72%61i\u0073a%40m%61r\u006b%65%74i%6eg%72%65%73u%6ct%73\u002e%6e%65t%27);"

vs. via text field (which breaks the email address when opened in an email client):

href="mailto:tes<!-- jlj --><span>t<!-- del --><!-- bsa -->@t</span>est.co<!-- ztj -->m"

Any suggestions?
