Thank you all, but mail to link is a backup atleast. I was more looking for a way to use email in a form right from the wiki. That doesnt require Email setup on the local PC. What I want to ask then is: Is there a way to pass the pageURL variable to a hidden field of an HTML form? That will help. Then it'll be like the Clickability links of CNN.com, where pages can be emailed with the Link of the page already embedded in the email form. Brian is right though, this kind of thing could be used to spam, so a visual confirmation mod would help, but atleast I'll be on my way if I can get the HTML form thing going - along with passing the pageURL to the form ofcourse.

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: You might be interested in this web page; text ('pageurl') ?>">Tell a friend Let me know if you implement a SpecialPage - as I would be interested in also doing that on http://BluWiki.org -s On Oct 18, 2006, at 1:44 AM, Robert Leverington wrote: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
