Why won’t the Email Author button work?

If the "Email Author" button does not work for you, consider trying each of the solutions below:

Copy and paste email links

• Right-click (or press-and-hold on mobile devices) the "Email Author" button.
• Choose "Copy Email Address" (or similar).
• In your email client, compose a new email.
• In the new email, right-click in (or press-and-hold)  the “To” field.
• Click / tap “Paste.” The email address you copied should appear in the “To” field.
• Delete any extra text in the “To” field.
• Finish composing your message, then click / tap your email client’s “Send” button.

Configure your browser to use email links

Email (or "mailto") links are special web links that open up a new email message with the recipient’s email address already filled in. The instructions to set this up will depend on your device, email client / provider (e.g. Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail), and browser (e.g. Chrome or Firefox).
