  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Currently it seems the only way available to email a story on WordPress.COM is by adding the “Add This” button code manually to all your posts. http://support.wordpress.com/addthis/ Disclaimer: I could never get it to work properly.

  Nope, guess I’m going to have to rescind my recommendation. Once upon a time the “AddThis” button included an “Email this” link, but now it only offers bookmarking services.
