I've been pointed to a request for this feature that was made about a year ago. I'm sorry to say the developers, rather conservatively, said no. Their advice was that people should use their web browser's "email this page" feature. Not knowing which browser you currently use I can't say how you'd go about that, it differs from browser to browser.
I've copied this response to the Wikinews mailing list just in case there's one of the more technical people can come up with some sort of work-around that allows you to click a button and the "email this page" dialogue starts up.
In any case, always glad to get feedback from people who read Wikinews.
Yours sincerely, Brian McNeil

I can't. I thought of that just after I released the message. :(
Perhaps someone should send a message to OTRS? :)

If it's important, ask Brion; though he's not going to be happy, it's not that easy to remove an e-mail from the archive. :-(

One basically must edit the mbox file and then rebuild the archive html pages.
Again... my apologies. I would generally either discard such a message or copy/paste, edit, and send it on....
