Safari trick: Email url's via the address bar

I have enjoyed visiting you site, thank you for keeping it interesting!

And here's one more way to do it -- one I've used since the Safari beta, and continue to use even though there's now a menu item in Safari to do the same thing. Save the following as a bookmark and put it in your bookmarks bar. javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href) I named it with just a right pointing arrow from some dingbat font so it takes up precious little space. Works like a charm.

A related toolbar trick is to great a Gmail notification link. Bookmarking the RSS feed from your Gmail account, and saving it to your bookmarks toolbar (I drop mine in a toolbar folder labeled email) will check for new email in your Gmail account as frequently as your RSS settings dictate, and display the number of new messages waiting for you.

I guess ya'll are talkin' 'bout Safari 1.4 (Tiger)? 'Cause there ain't none of them thar bells 'n whistles in mah trusty ol' 1.3.

you can email a page with command-i found this completely by accident today, but it creates an email with an exact copy of the page

Very nice.

I never actually knew you could do any of those. I never go into the file menu:D On a little note: there's no apostrophe in URLs :)

Jon, There are plenty of ways to do this. Personally, I like to drag the URL onto the Mail.app icon in my dock. But you could also use shift-cmd-I. Dave was just pointing out another useful way to accomplish the same thing. And I think a lot of people will find this "trick" useful. Especially the part of just making it a clickable link on the address bar.

Great tip, thanks!

This is the same as "File->Mail Link to this page"
