    yes, I often used the email button in google reader. Important to send content, not just link.

  • Penni commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add email button link and if possible content as well! Between professional and friends, ability to decide whom to send info needs to be a case by case situation.

  • Juan Do commented  ·   ·  Report

    I like this idea very much, especially what Alcides Fonseca said: email the content, not just the link.

  • Anna Marquardt commented  ·   ·  Report

    I love The Old Reader, but many of my friends haven't switched yet - adding an email button would not only allow me to send them posts, but also alert them to your existence! TWO THINGS IN ONE

  • eric festinger commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ooooh yes, it would be really more practical instead of opening the link in the new tab, then send it through email!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add an email button. I can't believe this isn't a feature already!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    need, need, need this. For some reason, thought it was in here, so switched to Old Reader.

  • Ryan Baker commented  ·   ·  Report

    Another enthusiastic vote for an email button.

  • Lilly , commented  ·   ·  Report

    This feature is very needed, specially now that the Google Reader user's are going to different services. I can't rely only on the sharing inside The Old Reader (which is great, by the way).

  • Calvin commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is the one feature that will keep me on Google Reader until it is killed in July.

    You will win a lot of people over if you add an email button. The UI is very clean and resembles greader more than any other alternatives I've used thus far. Please consider adding..

  • Jesper Thunstedt commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is the most important thing missing imho. All my sharing is done by e-mail.

  • massalo commented  ·   ·  Report

    "this is really the one feature that The Old Reader is missing when compared to gReader."
    same! this is the one feature missing that makes not jump 100% just yet

  • bmenant commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like the email button with the ability to add a note (just like GReader and like the share button, actually).

    Otherwise, maybe the "Share" button should propose a checkboxe "Also share by email"… ?

  • Jen commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like an email button as well. Email is my primary method of sharing entertaining posts.

  • Kelly commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add an "email" button. I would use this feature multiple times daily.

  • Angie commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, please have a similar email share feature as Google Reader. Not everyone uses social networking sites to share.

    Having the content of the article in the email is much better than sending people a link.
