What is the accessible/usable best practices for email links on web pages?
We currently link the word, "Email" but this is not very informative.
<a href="mailto: <EMAIL REMOVED> ">Email</a>
Should we use descriptive text:
<a href="mailto: <EMAIL REMOVED> ">Email Art Department</a>
or the full email address as the link:
<a href="mailto: <EMAIL REMOVED> "> <EMAIL REMOVED> </a>

I've read that screen readers have a difficult time reading aloud an email address .
Thanks for your feedback in advance.
