Whilst it is a measure to prevent spammers/scammers, there really is no need to display it at all in the forums. Those who may need to see it, moderators and those with limited admin privileges can see it (avast! Überevangelist’s have limited admin privileges).
However, your email address is hidden from public view (unless you have recently changed your profile settings), YoKenny has only recently been made an avast! Überevangelist and as such can see all email icon links. So if he is logged in as an avast! Überevangelist he will see it.
