Web sites operated by UK businesses and charities are required to 
include physical street addresses for contacting the owner and, where 
relevant, company numbers or charity numbers.

It is probably still the case that a lot of sites are non-compliant, 
although non-compliance is an indicator of a possibly dodgy site.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
