A candidate is the dingbat font MarvoSym, for which a dedicated LaTeX  
package is included. See

	/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/fonts/marvosym/marvodoc.pdf

or

	/usr/local/TeXLive/texmf.texlive/doc/latex/marvosym/marvodoc.pdf

depending on your setup.

However, even in this documentation file, you'll see that email  
adresses include the "@" sign from the current font (Times) instead  
of the "@" sign from the MarvoSym font.
