How do you add a "e-mail this page" to a Web page?

Update:

Many websites have the functionality to "e-mail this page" to someone else. It appears that even Yahoo! Answers lets users do this as well. What coding is needed to grab either the URL or all the page contents inorder to send via email to someone?

    the mailto tag will only work if they have outlook installed :) I think its better to use cgi ( but then your web space has to support cgi , or whatever method you use to email the URL of the current page to there email addy )

    www.htmlgoodies.com and www.w3schools.com are 2 good places to look for resources / info on how to :)

    You can add an e-mail link using HTML. Replace anything in brackets, including the brackets:

    <a href="mailto:[e-mail_address]" >[Text Link]</a>
