I believe that feature has been disabled on the grounds that it was vulnerable to abuse by malcontents.

Of course, you can still do it the old-fashioned way, by sending him an ordinary email, and copying and pasting in the URL of the page in question. Most email clients, when they see something that looks like a URL, will automatically turn it into a clickable link, so it’s just as easy for the recipient, but it does take a bit more work for the sender.
