Include additional metadata in emailed records

Current Behavior

Currently, when the user clicks the "Email" button on the record for an item in VuFind, it sends a minimal email mostly containing a link back to the record page.

Consider the following record: https://catalog.lib.uchicago.edu/vufind/Record/5361531

If you hit the "Email" button on that page, Shib-authenticate into VuFind, and have VuFind email you the record, the email looks like this:

This email was sent from: catalog@lib.uchicago.edu
------------------------------------------------------------
  The chronicles of library land /
  Link: https://catalog.lib.uchicago.edu/vufind/Record/5361531
------------------------------------------------------------

Desired Behavior

We would like the email to include additional information as well, including the call number for the record. The email for the above item should contain title, author, publisher, call number, and location information, formatted like this:

The chronicles of library land / by Elisabeth M. Long. [Chicago : E.M. Long, 2004]
