"mailto:$user\@$domain" gets parsed by Perl into 'mailto:'.$user.'@'.$domain so there isn't any difference between the two. Perl doesn't execute code in the case of "this `date` string", and even it did, $date='`date`'; "this $date string" still wouldn't execute code.
My question on the original code is "What good does it do?" If a robot is prowling the web for e-mail addresses, why wouldn't it follow the link and get the e-mail address in this case? Do most of these robots skip links with "?" in the URL? Or do they not harvest e-mail addresses when given in redirects? Just curious...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
