An username part if a SIP or MAILTO URI can't contain @ symbol, it's illegal 
as it's, in fact, the separator of the userpart and domain part.

What you can do is escaping "@" in hexadecimal before creating the SIP URI (I 
don't know the code for "@", but "a" == "%61"), so:

  sip:alice at domain.com == sip:%lice at domain.com
  
So supposing an user has an email:
  carol at gmail.com
and supposing that the hexadecimal conversion of "@" is "%88" then you can 
create a SIP URI like:
  sip:carol%88gmail.com at your_fs_domain
