User journey

As an end user reading a press or journal website, if I am told to contact a particular staff person or editor, and I am linked to the /contact/ page to do so, I may be a bit confused if the pre-selected person is different than the person I was told to contact.

Proposed solution

Check for a query parameter like recipient=email@example.org and pass that argument into the form here:
