Website Email Link Cloaking with Joomla

I know Joomla 3.x is suppose to have in email cloaking "on" by default but how can you test to see if your email cloaking is working?

Thanks!

have you checked out their documentation?

https://docs.joomla.org/How_to_cloak_email_addresses
it's as simple as setting the email address, and then whatever you want it to be seen as:

echo JHtml::_('this is my email', 'email@address.com');

That is correct.  If it is legible in clear text when viewing the response, then any bot can read it as well.
