If the FAQ has a TOC, then the link that the TOC provides points directly 
to the (invisible) anchor. In Firefox under Windoze, you can right-click on 
a link and select "Copy Link Location" which you then paste into the email. 
I hope that all other browsers work the same way.

Having a visible anchor does not provide this facility - rather, it lets 
the reader see where the anchor is. (Unless I grossly misunderstand visible 
anchors). In a FAQ, the target will always be the question, so a visible 
anchor is just redundant page decoration.

I don't use the home key or TOC-link, I spin my scroll wheel! ;-)
