Add-on summary
Note: I am aware that some people have had issues with this doing nothing at all when clicked. I am still not sure why that was happening, but I believe I have fixed it; if you are still seeing this problem with v1.1.1, please create an issue on GitHub.
This was a feature request from my father. He wanted a quick and easy way to email a link to the page he was looking at, so I built this. The subject and message body are customizable in the addon preferences, and both can include the url and page title.
Special thanks to Tomasz Nowak <https://github.com/tomaszn/> for his feature suggestion and code contribution.
