[NFB-Web] Email Links

[Todd Elzey]

Steve:

No problem reaching out to me. In terms of the email, that's easy. You
simply use the mailto: attribute followed by the email address (no spaces)
in the link box. It is an identical process for telephone numbers except
the HTML attribute is tel:  I hope this is helpful.
