Achemso – asterisk in front of “Email:” and separate lines for each corresponding author

achemsoemail

We use achemso to write our manuscript. We have 2 corresponding authors, the emails of which are, by default, listed as

Email: [email protected]; [email protected]

We were required by the editor to list the emails as follows:

*Email: [email protected]
*Email: [email protected]

(note the asterisk and the new line)

We found the following answer to fix it for one corresponding author only:

achemso – Generating an asterisk in front of "E-mail:"

but could not find a solution that will work for 2 authors and give the desired result. Could anybody help us?

Thank you.
