The first one works fine. The mail address is hidden, only the name of the recipient is displayed. That's precisely what I want. The second one also works, but the "mailto:" part is also displayed. Well, it's a cosmetic problem, but the first one is better.

Thanks for pointing this out. In any case, somebody should add this to the Mallard manual. As I already wrote, the current recommendations for replacing the "email" tag from DocBook points to <sys> in an inline context or <name> inside an <credit> element. But both are not really useful in this case.

Cheers,
Mario
