Hi Paul,

The easiest way to disable this functionality would be to add the view-profile-friends-list.ftl to your global theme and modify this section of code to hide the Send as Email button:

            <#if (rel.person.email?exists)>
            <span>
 <#assign profileFriendsSendmessagetoLabel><@s.text name="profile.friends.sendmessageto.label"><@s.param>${SkinUtils.getDisplayName(rel.person)}</@s.param></@s.text></#assign>
                <a href="#" onClick="popMessageWindow(${rel.person.ID?c},'${profileFriendsSendmessagetoLabel?js_string}'); return false;"><span></span><@s.text name="profile.friends.sendmessage.link" /></a>
            </span>
            </#if>

Hope that helps! Thanks.

Hi Paul,

There are a few options for that specific button:

1) Use CSS in your theme to just hide the button

2) Use a UI Components setup in a simple plugin to hide the button completely, more information on that here:

Hope that helps. Thanks!
