When clicking on the "Email the contents" button, an email is openned but if it is a long page/article only the first 1200 or so characters are included. The original page link does appear at the bottom of the email.

Only tested on Gmail with Chrome Version 113.0.5672.127 (Official Build) (64-bit) Reader View 0.7.1

True, the extension generates mailto: link to send an email. There is a limit on a link length in each browser. So we cannot send the complete content. We need to trim it first.
