The reason for this is that in LaTeX, inline pieces use

\verb=[a-zA-Z_]=

If "=" is part of the string, this construct fails.  Whatever character
I choose,  it will fail for someone.  I guess I could use the
paragraph symbol §, maybe this is the least likely one of them all?
it works in my LaTeX installation - could a few more people try this
on their systems?

does

\verb§bladibla§

work in LaTeX?

Yes, I know this, both constructs use \verb in LateX.  I'd say this is
clearly good enough, though.

Is there a non-monospaced, verbatim equivalent for \verb in LaTeX?

What should it influence?  The standard LaTeX header we use (maketitle)
does not list the email.  You can build your own title, using  
{{{email}}}
as a place holder.
