See:

http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-parsing#email_property

<a class="email"> takes the value from the href attribute as an  
exception from standard parsing rules.  You probably want to do this  
instead:

<a href="mailto:John%20Doe%3Cjohn.doe at example.com%3E"><span  
class="email">john.doe at example.com</span></a>

Peace,
