One often sees man pages that say e.g.,
BUGS
       Report bugs to http://bugs.plkr.org/ or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
       chicken.org>
where one doesn't know to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm not sure what to do with this bug, as there are many packages affected.

man has no way of doing anything about this short of the undesirable
option of disabling hyphenation altogether, and I don't think there's a
sensible way for groff to do it automatically either. Authors of *roff
documents that want to suppress hyphenation for certain parts of their
text can do so by putting the .nh request before the text in question
and the .hy request after it.

Cheers,
