Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-02-24 16:22:52 UTC 
Empathy needs to use ContactInfo (bug #588922) first to be able to get contacts' emails.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-06-15 12:12:22 UTC 
This is now possible when viewing details of a contact, clicking on its mail address will open your mail client.
Maybe we could add a "Send Email" entry in the context menu but that means we'll have to poll the vCard each time we right click on a contact :\
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-08-26 05:06:18 UTC 
This is pretty much GNOME Contacts' job now.
