This should do it:

<?php

$var = '<a href="&#x6d;&#x61;&#x69;&#108;&#x74;&#111;&#x3a;&#x79;&#x6f;&#117;&#114;&#x40;&#101;&#x6d;&#00097;&#x69;&#x6c;&#x2e;&#97;&#x64;&#x64;&#x72;&#000101;&#000115;&#115;?subject=&cc=&bcc=&body="
style="" class=""
id="">&#x79;&#000111;&#x75;&#000114;&#x40;&#x65;&#x6d;&#97;&#105;&#x6c;&#00046;&#x61;&#x64;&#x64;&#000114;&#x65;&#000115;&#x73;</a>';


echo  htmlspecialchars($var);

?>

The obfuscation doesn't buy you much, though.

<?php

var_dump(html_entity_decode($var, ENT_QUOTES, 'utf-8'));

?>
string(106) "<a
href="mailto:your@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=&cc=&bcc=&body="; style=""
class="" id="">your@xxxxxxxxxxxxx</a>"

The only people for whom the value will be obscure will be the humans
who actually try to read the HTML source code itself. Neither web
browsers nor harvesting scripts won't have any trouble reading it.
