Disable MailTo disables also the "recommend to a friend link" and the "recommend to a friend form" from frontend.

By default, Joomla! has no option to disables these, because it comes from locked mailto component. It´s possible to disable mailto function for each article, but not globally by simply disabling mailto component.

Here that Disable MailTo Plugin helps. It allows the activation and deactivation of the component by plugin settins. By default, com mailto will be disabled. Just need to install Disable MailTo, it´s all, simple and effective.

All features through plugin settings:
- Redirect SEO old component mailto links to homepage or to custom URL
- Remove link to friend link from fontend article settings dropdown
- And the described switch to enable/disable com_mailto

Note: This plugin is like a switch to fire enable/disable com_mailto just on plugin save. So, it´s not realy a system plugin feature, it´s a way beetween to optimize page load performance and bring that feature. Plugin must be enabled to trigger enable/disable events. To undo changes, just need to uninstall plugin.
