Removal of email addresses from messaging

[Porcupine-Club-2--LLC0]

Anyone else find it an issue that with the newest host interface (Feb 2019) that you can no longer cut/paste an email address to communicate with a renter?

I assume most people have multiple email accounts, and perhaps even one just for AirBnB rental communications as we do.  I don't want to use work or personal email accounts for AirBnB transaction/communication messaging.

Now the new functionality FORCES the open of the default email client on my computer,  which is not the account I prefer to use.  Just makes AirBnB harder tro use as a Host, and shows AirBnB doesn't seem to understand how people want to compartmentalize communications.

If others feel the same...speak up.

@Porcupine-Club-2--LLC0 I think I understand what you mean - you can either message the client within the Airbnb site or app, or you can click "email guest" and your email client opens, right?

I tried it, and yes, that's what happens.  But then I went back and right-clicked on "email guest" and I was able to copy the email address and use it from wherever I wanted to send an email.  Have you tried that?
