Can I click on email address/contact in email then choose to call the person?

[AC Question]

One feature that I wish (hope) my Android Samsung S5 has is the ability to click on a contact name in my mailbox and call them. Specifically, I get an email and read it. I want to call the person to respond -- why can't I click on their name and choose to call rather than reply? Their name and number is in my contact database.

Welcome to the forums. That would depend on which email app you use and whether it has that capability. Its not tied to the phone, you can use whatever email app you want to.

In order to call someone, their number must first be available from the information provided in the email. Their email address is not enough. Email simply does not have that capability - to include additional information in the headers like that.
