I want my members to be able to email each other but don't particularly want them to see a screen full of emails. Thus I want to display 'Email this person' instead of the actual email of that person on the List and View pages. Any ideas?

Thanks

If you use 'View as' Custom for email field you can do something like this:

$value = '<a href="mailto:'.$value.'">Email this person</a>';

That works just fine, Sergey. Thanks

The recursive use of $value is interesting but I can't work how to to replace the text Email this person with the field Firstname?

Sure, this can be done. See this article that explains how you can access value of any field from the same record:
