When adding an email link to a document you should use the mailto: URI scheme:

<a href="mailto:chris@wearedevelopers.com">Email Chris</a>

That makes the browser open the associated email tool instead of opening the link in the browser. Today I found out that browsers also offer a “copy email” in the context menu that only copies the email itself and not the whole href attribute value.

Neat!
