## Description

Inline markup identifying an email address.

### Processing expectations

Formatted inline. `Email` may generate surrounding punctuation, such as angle brackets. This is an interchange issue. See Appendix F, Interchanging DocBook Documents.

In some processing environments, `Email` may automatically generate a hypertext link (a `mailto:` URL).

In an `Address`, this element may inherit the verbatim qualities of an address.
