    If I insert an URL, and make the URL mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and make the

set it up to only display the Name field?



Insert->URL... uses the url.sty package, with which I'm not familiar. 
The way I do it is as follows:

1.  In the preamble, add \usepackage{hyperref} (and, of course, install 
the hyperref package if you don't already have it).

2.  In the document, type \href{mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Name} either with 
everything in ERT or with everything except My Name in ERT (so two ERT 
insets, the first one ending with an opening brace and the second 
containing just a closing brace).  I prefer the latter, since it leaves 
My Name accessible for easy editing, spell checking etc., but either 
approach should work.
