Hello,

I prepared small example which shows problem when using revtex4-1 class and hyperref package:

<file name="ex.ltx">
\documentclass[preprint]{revtex4-1}

\begin{document}

\title{Minimal not-working document (example)}
\author{Vladimir Lomov}
\email{\url{lomo...@gmail.com}}
\affiliation{Home, Irkutsk, Russia}

\begin{abstract}
This is minimal example document exhibiting problem with interaction
between revtex4-1 and hyperref.
\end{abstract}

%\pacs{12.21 Af}
%\keywords{Simulation}

\maketitle

\input{tufte}

\end{document}
</file>

<file name="ex.rty">
\ProvidesFile{ex.rty}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\endinput
</file>

Compiling the `ex.ltx' file with `pdflatex' in up-to-date TL 2012 I get:
...
(/usr/local/opt/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/gettitlestring.sty
)) (./ex.out) (./ex.out)
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
\@makeother #1->\catcode `#1
12\relax
l.18 \maketitle

! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Transcript written on ex.log.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello,

Thank you Enrico, I didn't suspect the `url' macro but without it the `email' will be typeset in roman, and this is another, my problem.

Here's a work-around. I redefined \email. This is the same
as revtex's definition, but the address (#2) is wrapped
in \nolinkurl. One wonders why revtex doen't include this
already.

\documentclass[preprint]{revtex4-1}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\email[1][]{\begingroup\sanitize@url\@email{#1}}%
\def\@email#1#2{%
\endgroup
% typeset email address with \nolinkurl:
\@AF@join{#1\href{mailto:#2}{\nolinkurl{#2}}}%
}%
\makeatother

Sorry, but this doesn't work for me, I found that "error" and message can give also `\texttt'.

I prepared several test files, may be they can help to find workaround.

ex1-*: simple documents with `\url' macro in `\email';
-1 without `hyperref' package;
-2 package `hyperref' added to document preamble;
-3 code suggested by Dan (Luecking) added into preamble before `hyperref' package inclusion;
-4 the same as `-3' but the order is changed, now `hyperref' included before the code.

ex2-* the same as `ex1-*' set but uses `\texttt' macro instead of `\url'.

ex3-*: uses revtex4-1 feature, that macros and part of preamble can be placed to `rty' file accompany the document, `\url' macro is used;
-1 `hyperref' package is included in rty file;
-2 the code is included into preamble;
-3 the same as `-3' above but code in rty file;
-4 the same as `-4' above.

ex4-*: as `ex3-*' but uses `\texttt' macro instead of `\url'.

Results:

TD \ TS | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
--------+---+---+---+---+
ex1 | + | - | - | - |
ex2 | + | - | - | - |
ex3 | - | - | - | - |
ex4 | - | - | - | - |
--------+---+---+---+---+

From log files:
`\url':

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
\@makeother #1->\catcode `#1
12\relax
l.18 \maketitle

`\texttt':

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].

\Hy@href {->\hyper@normalise
\href@ {
l.18 \maketitle

I put tests here:

The above code is to be used _instead_ of using \url inside
\email. That is ex1-3.ltx should look like this:

%% ex1-3.ltx

\documentclass[preprint]{revtex4-1}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\email[1][]{\begingroup\sanitize@url\@email{#1}}%
\def\@email#1#2{%
\endgroup
% typeset email address with \nolinkurl:
\@AF@join{#1\href{mailto:#2}{\nolinkurl{#2}}}%
}%
\makeatother

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\title{Minimal not-working document (example)}
\author{Vladimir Lomov}

% the url typesetting is inside definition of \email.
% No need for it here.
\email{iggy...@gmail.com}
