Sorry, but Type:Email is not stable yet. It prints an email hyperlinked whe=
n=20
used in an article, but the problem is that this does not work when it prin=
ts=20
results in queries. If used in queries, you will see [mailto:email email]=20
where you would expect the link. The problem is that you HTML is used in=20
queries and wikitext elsewhere. I will look at it (feel free to file a bug).

Currently, a template like the email template on ontoworld.org seems to be =
the=20
best solution.

They do! But the types are sufficiently compatible.

Sorry, but you will have to undo this for said reasons (if you want to see =
the=20
problem in action, you can re-safe any article with an email and check how =
it=20
looks in a query result).=20

I think another reason for use to have two email attibutes was that one use=
s=20
=46OAF mbox; with several effects:
* Completely different RDF export: it is an ObjectProperty, not a=20
DatatypeProperty of type string.
* FOAF-Semantics: foaf:mbox implies that you use it on a foaf:Agent only. S=
o=20
it does not provide a correct way for giving conferences and other non-agen=
ts=20
an email.

I would keep Email for now. It is a good simple example of a template, even=
 if=20
we do not use it in the future.=20
