Email This! will send your recipient the link, title, and a selected summary of the webpage you are viewing.


Email This! Bookmarklet Extension



Description

General Information
Email This! will send your recipient the link, title, & highlighted text of the page you are viewing using GMail, Google Apps GMail, Yahoo, and Stand-Alone Mail Clients like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, & More! If you hate toolbar buttons don't fret. I've included a right-click pop-up menu and access keys!

Note
1. Email This is now compatible with Songbird, Seamonkey, Flock and eMusic!
2. Hotmail/MSN Mail support has been dropped due to Microsoft's new email interface (almost impossible for email this to function properly with the current interface).

Functionality
For Gmail
The Gmail Compose-Message page will open in a new tab.
The title of the article/webpage you are viewing will go in the subject line of your email.
The address/url will go in the body area of the email.
The highlighted-text will appear below the address/url

For Yahoo <font>(The method was introduced in version 2.2.3)</font>
1] Go To: Tools >> Add-Ons >> Email This! Preferences.
2] Login to Yahoo Mail Classic and look at the Url/Addres Bar
3] You should see something similar to: http://us.mc590.mail.yahoo.com/mc/ or http://us.mc590.mail.yahoo.com/ym/
4] Not everyone will have us.mc590 before mail.yahoo.com
5] Not everyone will have /mc/ or /ym/ after mail.yahoo.com
6] Write in everything you see in the address bar through the mc/ or ym/ (without http://)
7] For instance, I would write in us.mc590.mail.yahoo.com/mc/ (and nothing else following it)
8] Make sure there is an / at the end your input in the text box.
9] The extension will work the same as it does for Gmail and Google Apps Gmail after these configurations will be put in place.

For Google Apps Gmail
First, configure your domain to work with Email This, go to: Tools >> Add-Ons >> Email This! Preferences.
The Gmail Compose-Message page will open in a new tab.
The title of the article/webpage you are viewing will go in the subject line of your email.
The address/url will go in the body area of the email.
The highlighted-text will appear below the address/url

For Stand-Alone Clients (Windows/OS-X/Linux)
The stand-alone program (such as outlook express or Thunderbird) will open up the Compose-New-Message screen in a new system-window.
The title of the article/webpage you are viewing will go in the subject line of your email.
The address/url will go in the body area of the email.
The highlighted-text will appear below the address/url.

For SeaMonkey Users
You must first download the latest version xSidebar to use Email This! (http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/)
After installation, you can access Email This! via the right-click context menu.
Make sure to use the Mail-To This! (Seamonkey) Option.
The title of the article/webpage you are viewing will go in the subject line of your email.
The address/url will go in the body area of the email.

Version 2.2.0 works with Songbird 0.6rc2 – 0.7pre. This is because the context menu is necessary for the extension to work.
Enjoy!
