It should be something like:
<h1>Contact Information</h1>
<p>ACME Widgets<br>
123 Any Street<br>
Any Town Any Province<br>
Any Country<br>
<a href="mailto:mailbox@example.com">mailbox@example.com</a>
</p>
This will work for people who have an email client available. It will
also work for those who want to copy and paste (if they are using web
based email, etc.)
