Right-clicking on an email address should say "Copy email address," not "Copy Link Address"

Bug Description

Right-clicking on an email address currently brings up an option reading "Copy Link Address," which is confusing; it suggests that what we're going to copy is something like <a href="mailto:<email address hidden>">email</a>, when all we're copying is "<email address hidden>"

Right-clicking on an email address currently brings up an option reading "Copy Link Address," which is confusing; it suggests that what we're going to copy is something like <a href="mailto:<email address hidden>">email</a>, when all we're copying is "<email address hidden>". The link should read "Copy email address" instead.
