A fully customizable React component for copying email from mailto links.

Motivation

The one thing we can all agree on is that we hate it when the default mail app pops up after clicking on the mailto link. Most of the time we just want to copy the email address and that's where this module comes into play. Big shout out to Kuldar whose tweet thread inspired us to build this.
