- The problem it solves is the multiple trips back and forth you need to do if you want to email someone a web page. You often want to copy the URL and some of the text right? That makes two copy and paste trips.
- The addition of a 'Send to Mail Button' makes it all happen in one click.
- You select some text on the page if you want to specify what text is emailed. If you don't specify any text, either all the text, the beginning (first 200 characters followed by an ellipsis) or none, depending on your preference setting (default is first 200 characters) are used.
- You then click the 'Send to Mail Button' and your selected text is automatically put in the body of a new message, followed by the URL, the title of the page is in the subject, after "Site:" so all you need to do it enter the name of the recipient and send, or add some comments, as you prefer. And that's all there is to it.
- Update 10th of May 2003: Thomas Web put this AppleScript together on the Dave Hyatt Blog where I posted this as a feature request. What a genius! "As for the Mail.app integration requested above... Drop this in a new applescript and put that in the AppleScript sample folder that gets shown in the menu bar... Doesn't copy selected text only though, does all text. But then again, I only had 2 minutes :) "
