Is there a way to send this (web) page with its web site URL link only and without attaching its actual web page?

[Ant]

Hello,

I like to share web site links via/through e-mails with SeaMonkey's
right click menu's send this page option. However, I don't want to send
the actual web page. Just the link only. Is there a way to do it when
right clicking on a web site's web page? I know I can copy and paste,
but that is slower. :P

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

SeaMonkey 2.53.16

Try [File > Send Link] on the menu bar.

My default E-mail is Thunderbird 52.9.1 (an old version), not SeaMonkey
itself. I just tried it. I got a compose message window with the first
line of the message body showing the URI for SeaMonkey's current Web
page. I noticed that the URI was not bracketed with < and >, which
really should be added manually.

Yes. Use SeaMonkey's File menu option "File >> Send Link...".

It appears the right-click menu's "Send This Page..." option works
like the File menu's "File >> Send Page...", not like the File menu's
"File >> Send Link...".

I don't know of an easy way to change the right-click menu's action or
add a right-click "Send Link..." option.

But using "File >> Send Link..." will be faster than copy and paste ☺️.

Oh wow. I never noticed that option before. Thanks. I wished it had a
hot key or a right click option on current web page though! My SM did
include < and >.

Or better, a hot key. Is there a way to assign one?

I've got one machine with 2.53.16 and one with 2.49.4 .
On both machines it is an almost perfect solution for my needs.

I'm working on a problem and have multiple pages open in tabs.
It opens a new email for each page clicked.
I want it to insert the link at the current cursor location of current
email being composed.

The closest I've come is to:
1. "Bookmark this group of tabs"
2. in the Bookmarks menu, right click on the folder just created
3. chose "Copy"
4. paste that into my email being composed

That has two primary problems:
A. possibly duplicate bookmarks for same URL
B. the references may not be in the appropriate order for the
email's context

Comments/suggestions?
TIA

There's a 2016 (xul/xpi legacy) extension which does exactly that:

Email This! Bookmarklet Extension

You can choose the 'sending' program, too.

I don't know exactly where you can find it now, but I'm using v.2.3.0.1,
and it works fine with SM 2.49.5 AND FF 56.

If you still have that XPI file, maybe you can share it. However, will it work in the v2.53.16?

That's one of the possible reasons I'm still on 2.49.5: Many browsers
have similar functions, but none like this.

If it does work in 2.53, that would be encouraging!

SM said it couldn't be installed because it wasn't compatible with v2.53.16. :(

Try changing the minimum version in install.rdf, it is currently
something like 2.1a1, ancient.

I installed it in 2.53.16 (obvs, overriding the compatibility checks).
The Addons Manager complained but after restarting the bottom item in
the EmailThis!>... context menu opened a New Message window with the
selected text. Using the Addon converter
<http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> should improve the compatibility
experience.

When I use SM to "send link" I see web page attached as a file (so I
delete that) and the message body contains the HTML link. Isn't that
what you want?

[Ant]

Yes, but I don't want to manually delete the file attachment. I just wanted not to include it automatically. :)

Thanks Dirk.
<https://addons.thunderbird.net/seamonkey/downloads/latest/email-this/addon-3102-latest.xpi?src=dp-btn-primary>
via <http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> works as advertised.

Add-on doesn't highlight the link as a <link> (or a blue-link if in
HTML-compose email).
SeaMonkey's File/Send_Link menu opens "Compose Mail" window with title
and link as a complete <link> with arrows (or a blue-link if in
HTML-compose email).

One still has to highlight the selected-text for the add-on, which one
does anyway for copy/paste. With a mouse, the only extra step for me, is
to push the middle mouse-button to paste that text.
I guess for me, this add-on is overkill. Barry.

Yeah, I decided not to use this. I'll just use alt+f and then d keys. I
can do them fast now on my clicky keyboard.
