Adds a menu item to each asset, allowing users to contact the person responsible for said asset. This in turn requires an information field on the asset that contains a pointer to their email address. Note that the menu will always be present, even if there's no email address at the other end (for performance) - in that case you'll just get an error message.

**Requirement:** Your OS needs to be configured to handle `mailto:`-links in order for this to work - usually this is called "Default Apps" or something to that effect.
