Not sure what magic words work with each versions, but this external hyperlink works in
1.7.1:
[mailto:?subject=Check%20this%20page%20out&body=You%20might%20be%20interested%20in%20this%20web%20page:%20{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}
Tell a friend]
Of course its still a bit sloppy not to have the email sent by the wiki's server, but
still, it works right NOW! :)

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Feature: "Email this page"
Erik,
I would agree with Robert - ideally you make a special page and add
an "email user" button in your skin.
If you want to go the "hackish" route use a mailto link and define
the subject/body. Of the top of my head, something like this might
work:
<A
HREF="mailto:?subject=Foobar.com web page recommendation.&body=Hi,
You might be interested in this web page; <?php $this->text
('pageurl') ?>">Tell a friend</A>
Let me know if you implement a SpecialPage - as I would be interested
in also doing that on
http://BluWiki.org

That would require editing the skin files as all of
the links that
appear in the toolbox are found in the SkinName.php files, it might
also need a new special page depending on how it was implemented.
If it were like the Emailuser item then it could just be a special
page with options on it (you would need to be logged in though)
otherwise it could be a mailto: link however they are not very
friendly if you are using a public computer or use online web mail.

"Email this page" is a very useful

traffic of a website. Any suggestions on how to enable this in the
Toolbox on the left for every page?
thanks
