What about adding a new display style for this field so that instead of displayind a link it actually displays an embedded contact form? Or for even better usability an AJAX form would be even nicer.

You mean something like this? (Goes into template.php of your theme.)

/**
 * Theme preprocess function for field.tpl.php.
 */
function THEME_NAME_preprocess_content_field(&$variables) {
  $element = $variables['element'];
  $field = content_fields($element['#field_name'], $element['#node']->type);
  $node = $element['#node'];

  if ($field['field_name'] == 'field_FIELD_NAME') {
    $variables['items'][0]['view'] = drupal_get_form('email_mail_page_form', $node, $field['field_name'], $variables['items'][0]['email']);
  }
}

I might look into writing a patch with a display style that does this during the weekend, but can't guarantee I get the time. If I don't, feel free to pick this up someone :)

Hmmm... well at first glance, that looks right, but I replaced the all-caps areas and it had no effect at all. Not sure if there is something I am missing. I've tried putting this in template.php and in field.tpl.php, with no effect.

But yes, this would need to use its own display style, as there are other views in which I actually show the email address itself. Or alternately, it could just show whenever "email contact form" is the chosen display style.

ximo: This worked perfectly for me (v6.13) by only changing the THEME_NAME and FIELD_NAME. Thanks much!

pauldawg: What are you seeing? Are you getting anything? Show us a screenshot maybe?

It does work when using default node.tpl but how do you go about adding this into custom node-type.tpl ?

I added 

<?php print $node->field_email[0]['view'] ?>

but got only link to form. what am I missing?
