Email a page?

page? In SeaMonkey, you can use
File > Send Page
and in Safari, you can use
File > Mail Contents of This Page
If Opera has this feature, I will probably switch!
Thank you,

Why don't you send a link to page?

Because I want to send the actual page! If this feature was not
useful to some people, then SeaMonkey and Safari wouldn't have
it. I blogged a bit about this here:
SeaMonkey Suite 1.0.1 and Send This Page
<http://deflexion.com/2006/04/seamonkey-suite-101-and-send-this-page>
Anyway, I'm just trying to find out if this is possible in Opera.
For example, is there an add-on button that would do this?

It would be a nice feature to have.

It's probably off topic in this newsgroup, but in relation with the
topic of this thread : another nice feature would be "Save the
complete page (texte images an other elements) to a single zip file",
so you can mail this file (without external references), or store it.
Of course, Opera would be able to read this file (even off line)
without unpacking it :)
But other browsers would be ableto read it too after unpacking it.

Opera 9 can save as .mht file, which is a standardised format for saving
web pages and their content in one file.

... isn't this also the format used when you 'send a page' in IE or
Seamonkey? Bit hard to test for me, because I don't want to make Outlook
the standard mail client on this machine, and I cuurently don't have
Seamonkey on this machine.

It may be useful in some cases, yes. But in most cases it is better just
to send a link (you never know if the recipient is interested in this
page, so _he_ can decide if he wants it or not)

No, it's not possible at the moment, but is think it can easily be added
by the devs since Opera 9 supports saving pages as .mht file.
Bur you can add a custom menu entry which does it half way:
Item, "Save and send"=save document,,,,save & Send document address in mail
Or as button
ButtonX, "Save and send"=save document,,,,save & Send document address in
mail
Clickable button with opera:
opera:/button/save%20document%2C%2C%2C%22Save%20and%20send%22%2Csave%20%26%20Send%20document%20address%20in%20mail
Click the button (menu entry) and choose "Web archive (single file)" as
file type in the save dialog and save the page. After that your mail
client opens with standard "Save link by mail" draft (page title as
subject and body with link). You now have to add the attachement manually
(it should be the first file in dropdown list of the "open" dialog)
Not perfect, but quite usable I think.

Nice, I missed this one, probably because it's new to O 9 ! I was
waiting for this for years, a _big_ "thank you" to the OS team :))
Could I suggest to add at the bottom of the saved page :
"Saved on <date> from <original URL>" ?

I tried it in IE and the page it sent was a disaster. Half the
formatting was lost.
In general I think "send page as email" is a _really_ bad idea, and
should never be used when there's an alternative:
(1) Sending anything apart from text by email is extremely inefficient
because any non-text information must be encoded as base64 and
hence increases in size by a third.
(2) It often means extra work for the recipient: if they're not reading
their mail in an HTML-capable mail client they won't be able to
see the page unless they save it and open it in a browser: extra
effort that nobody appreciates.
(3) Even if they are using an HTML-capable mail client that can view
pages directly, unless their client supports all of HTML _and_ CSS
_and_ JavaScript then chances are they're not going to be able to
see the page looking anything like it should.
(4) Even if their mail client can do all that (are there any that
can?) it may not work as it depends on the ability of the sending
browser to send the message correctly.
Sending a link is far more likely to work, involves less overhead,
and ensures that the recipient can actually _use_ the page instead of
merely looking at a garbled version of it.

It uses much less bandwidth to send a text email saying "I have no respect
for netiquette or for you, please add my address to your blacklist", with
exactly the same effect.

It would be easier to handle if the .mht was added as a filter in the open
dialog box.

Thank you Gunnar! I tried this button and, unfortunately, it's
too much of a pain. *But* it will be very helpful as a base for
me to learn about and create my own button. I'll post details
when I figure something out.
Thanks again,
