OK. So if a template says:

<a href="mailto:[% user.email %]">...

that's wrong? It should be:

<a href="mailto:[% user.login %]">...

?

I would be very happy if we changed things so that email() is only used
internally to send emails (because it would make my pseudonymity
extension work properly) and I'm happy to prepare a patch, but that's
not the case today.
