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

thanks Eric
