Hi! Try this:

$ printf "%s\ntest test test test test %s\n" 'Name (\fItest@example.org\fR)' 'Name (\fItest@example.org\fR)' | mandoc -T html

I got following output:

<div class="manual-text">Name (<i>test@example.org</i>) test test test test test
  Name ( <i>test@example.org</i>)</div>
<table class="foot">

First Name is correct, second Name not.

Just for verification:

$ printf "%s\ntest test test test test %s\n" 'Name (\fItest@example.org\fR)' 'Name (\fItest@example.org\fR)'
Name (\fItest@example.org\fR)
test test test test test Name (\fItest@example.org\fR)
