whois will give you mail addresses if you pass in "-B", or, more modern
"--show-personal".

The whois server conveniently understands "help" as well ;-)

gert at moebius4:/home/gert$ telnet whois.ripe.net 43
...
help
% NAME
%     whois query server
%
% DESCRIPTION
%     The following options are available:
...
%     --show-personal
%           Include PERSON and ROLE objects in results


passing those options to the server might need some fiddling with -- to
stop the local whois client from trying to interpret them (I use the RIPE
"whois3" client which doesn't try to, but YMMV).


Having never used RDAP, I am not sure if an option exists for it.
