Did you obfuscate the email in any way or is it a mailto link?

Nope, just a mailto:

Cloudflare obfuscates it automatically, look at the raw HTML and you'll see that the mailto is replaced with a "/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" link, along with a email-decode.min.js script tag being added

omg, all this time I've been giving FastMail the credit. What a nice little feature.
lol, this reminded me why I tell devs that they should be the first to QA their stuff. So they can confirm intended behavior. Indeed it’s a cool feature from CloudFlare to obfuscate all mailto links. Now you know. I was a bit curious when you claimed FastMail has the best anti spam and you rarely get junk. Even with email mx verification and all, with a p2p spam list, and a fingerprint - I still get plenty of spam email or unwanted marketing spam.
