somehow this is thing is related to cloud flare plugin. don't know but on server client has made some change or register a site with cloud flare and that's why it shows this text instead of the actual email address.

The issue is occurring due to cloud flare plugin. so you have to disable this plugin or change the text using simple javascript or jquery

HTML

<a href="mailto:info@abc.com" id="email">info@abc.com</a>

JavaScript

$("#emial").text("your text");
