When Gmail opens a message containing a bare email address that does not have mailto: link, it "helpfully" turns it into a mailto: link, there is unwanted change of the text styling too.

Is there a web standards tag that authors (such as email newsletter operators) can use to suppress linkification? On Googling, I see some mention of this idea, <nolink></nolink> and <span class="nolink"></span>. But I could not find any authoritative page saying that this is what I should use.

There are solutions like:

My my mail is <a>myname@example.com</a>

Or

My my mail is myname<span>@</span>example<span>.</span>com

But both are tricks, no standards.
