The following worked for me:

<address>
  <firstname>Foo</firstname><surname>Bar</surname>
  <email>foo.bar@acme.org</email>
  ...
</address>

The email gets transformed into the text "<foo.bar@acme.org>" where the
substring without the angle brackets is a hyperlink to
"mailto:foo.bar@acme.org".

Or did you mean a more general approach like email-links in e.g. a
paragraph? Then using

<ulink url="mailto:foo.bar@acme.org">eMail to Foo Bar</ulink>

should do the trick.

HTH,
Steffen.
