For example, I have a contact that when I click on their name I can see their phone number, address etc and I can see which services I can instant messenger them using (gtalk/skype/msn etc) but I have no option to just email them instead of sending an instant message.
There is actually no (reliable) rule that would allow us to know when a messaging service can be used as an email address... That's why we don't do it
