In the Emacs community, we have a notation for a pointer to an Info
node FOO in the manual BAR that Emacs understands -- you just hit a
key, and Emacs lands you there.  So if you use the Emacs Info reader,
this issue doesn't exist.

Another Emacs command automatically produces a pointer to the current
node in an Info manuals in the above format.  So if I want to share a
pointer with you, I invoke that command, paste the result into an
email message, and you on your end invoke that other command.  Problem
solved.
