I came across this post where author added reply via email link under each post. I understand this is done by modifying the loop.

After further research on the topic I came across this article / where they recommend against this option as it might cause a barrage of spam.

Question: it seems very convenient option if comments are off, however, can this really cause lots of spam email?

In theory, it can. There's lots of bots out there looking specifically for mailto links. That's why a lot of people obfuscate those links and with some cooked up or framework javascript put it back together on click. But a very clever bot could simulate that even.

It's a cost and benefits question. Do you really want people to be able to email you with as less steps as possible? Then accept the possibility of spam and invest in a good spam filter / provider.
