In most cases, context makes it obvious: "M 0123 456 789" is obviously not an email address. As I say, "T" is not so good for a mobile phone because it doesn't indicate that the phone is mobile, and "C" is a bit USA-centric. If in doubt -- spell it out. Good point.

Too many people will think "m" for mail. Of course "mail" can be associated with postal mail or e-mail. I think the letters "t" or "c" work better for phones. And use "e" for e-mail.

English is not my native, so working with foreign partners I've often been confused by those letters in the business cards. Now it's really clear! Thank you so much.
