After some thinking I now believe that we indeed need both a macro for
email addresses (.MT) and an `environment' for URLs (.UR/.UE). For
the moment, I've added .MTO to an-ext.tmac.
BTW, having an environment for URLs should make stuff like this
possible:
.UR http://reference/to/the/table

Actually, the stuff for -Tdvi is not necessary because it's already
contained in the init file for grodvi.

Hmm. Not quite correct -- see .URL and .MTO. As written in another
