Javascript text encryption

I have inherited a web site to look after. The site is programmed in ASP which I'm not too familiar with but this issue seems to be java related.

On the main page of the site is the client's email address. This appears to be encoded within the source code using javascript. I now need to change the email address but I can't seem to find the origin of the script in order to work out how to create a new encryption code.

Does anyone recognise this and can they point me in the right direction please?

NOTE: I've changed the values within the code since I don't yet understand it and don't want to unintentionally release any client related data into the public domain.

<head>
<script language="javascript">function d(o){q="asdfgsadfgsdagasdfhasfgas";k=0;s="";for(i=0;i<o.length;i=i+2){c="0x"+o.substr(i,2);c=Math.abs(c-q.charCodeAt(k));k++;if(k>q.length-1)k=0;c=String.fromCharCode(c);s+=c;}document.write(s);}</script>
</head>

Why do you want to let the encryption ? Remove it and put directly your email with or without another encryption method...

hmm... well, currently I don't have another method of doing this encryption and taking it away would be a reduction in spam control from the clietns perspective so I can't justify that.

To encode use :

function e(o) {
		q="asdfgsadfgsdagasdfhasfgas";
		k=0;
		s="";
		for(i=0;i<o.length;i++) {
			c = o.charCodeAt(i) + q.charCodeAt(k);
			k++;
			if(k>q.length-1) k=0;
			s+=c.toString(16);
		}
		document.write(s);
	}
