Thanks for your response timpeti. To your first point, my assumption is that users who click on the link would intend on sending an email to that address/linked word. Maybe a big assumption but that’s my first thought.

And you’re completely right about mobile. Maybe a tap+message like I’m proposing would suffice, maybe the mobile browser would either open the default mail app — or if you have multiple accounts open it could be smart enough to open a list for you to choose which account you want to send the email to. But then again, you’re in the same scenario where someone might not be using their default mail client on their phone. I use inbox on my iphone so that solution wouldn’t work for me.

If I took this thought a bit further I’d definitely explore what the expectations would be.
