Does icon-envelope do it for you? Or did you have some else specific in mind?

[PendingActiveDone]

thats the one :) .. sorry, not sure how I missed it

[jazbek]

Because it's not called icon-email! :) (I totally missed it too, thanks)

[h0jeZvgoxFepBQ2C]

yeah, maybe there should be an alias, i also looked a while and only found here the solution ^^

[tagliala]

@lichtamberg you are probably right.

The reason for this name is that Font Awesome is supposed to be an alternative set of icons for twitter bootstrap, it inherited the icon-envelope name from glyphicons :)

[h0jeZvgoxFepBQ2C]

Ah, alright thanks :)

[boughtonp]

Using envelope for email leaves nothing for indicating physical mail...?

[tagliala]

you can use envelope for physical emails too but I probably didn't get the point.

I mean, you need to distinguish between physical mail and email in your application?

[boughtonp]

you need to distinguish between physical mail and email in your application?

Yes. In a way regular people will understand (so different coloured envelopes isn't a solution).

I'm puzzled that this appears to be an obscure requirement. :/

[tagliala]

this could be a solution for you #1101

you can implement it by yourself

.icon-at:before {
  content: "@";
  font-weight: bold;
}

[boughtonp]

Thanks, that'll work. Though I don't understand the comment on one of the issues linked from 1101 saying common symbols shouldn't be included - there are already ? ! + - × and several others, so don't see why those are included whilst at/percent/hash are not. Meh.

[tagliala]

In fact ! and ? have not the same height (see #1510)

I suppose common symbols are not included because of ", &, /, (, ), =, ^, [, ], {, }, |, \, ,, ;, ., :, -, _, §, *, and the whole unicode set :)

btw Dave is keep listening, maybe there will we be a release that will focus on all the commons symbols

[alexander-wolf]

haha...I also couldnt find it. too many icons! Alias would be great.

[philperron]

Same, Alias or rename would be useful. Even though now I know, so .. ;)

i've been using FA for so long now, and still no fa-email alias for fa-envelope? plz

[saeidzebardast]

I've just searched for font-awesome email icon on google and come to this page. Why there is no alias for email?

[ghost]

fa-at it was added at 4.2 but not in a good style.
