There is no send link to mail recipent. Do I need a plug in or something?

Brad:

The following 'macro' that can be 'defined' in macros.cfg will probably do what you need (open up your email program, and include the link in the body of ).

You WILL have to 'put' the macro . . . for instance . . .

macros(email_link)

in the location of your choice . . . that is, in menus.cfg, as an example.

# emails current url to a user
email_link {
menu = "Email &Link";
open("javascript:{var subject=document.title;var body=location.href;self.location='subject='+subject+'&body='+body;}");" rel="nofollow" >mailtosubject='+subject+'&body='+body;}");
}

Hope the helps.

I tried putting in the macro but did not work. I don't know much about this program.

Doesn't quite work for me either . When I tried with specific links from sites such as Yahoo or Excite it just pastes the page url not the link specified within the page.

The following is a very simple attempt & the closest I can come to a functioning send link macro that I can use. But it requires an extra step of Ctrl V or right-click pasting of the link URL in the message body once the mail program is opened. Anyone know how to make this macro work better?

email_link{
menu=Email Link
id(ID_COPY_LINK_LOCATION);
open(;" rel="nofollow" >mailto;
id(ID_EDIT_PASTE);
}

if you're using the macro from the context menu to send links from a page, this might work (i haven't tested it, though)... keep in mind that not all mail clients will accept arguments for text to be placed in the body of a new message... many do, though.

email_link {
menu = Email Link
open("mailtobody=" . $LinkURL);
}

Thanks Po. It worked.
