I disagree. His question, stated in the subject line was directed at
how to write them in FAQs. I have run into this as well and have asked
myself which people would rather see, regular email addresses or the
mailto:user@site. As I do not really like the mailto: usage I have not
modified my FAQS to use it, even though I use other URL references syntax.
What do people think ?
