How do you add a "e-mail this page" to a Web page?
Many websites have the functionality to "e-mail this page" to someone else. Not the simple hyperlink method of using "mailto". Rather, what coding is needed to grab either the URL of a page or all the page contents inorder to send the information via email to someone? It appears that even Yahoo! Answers has this functionality.

you need to be using an html pre processing lanbuage, such as php, asp, coldsusion, cgi, etc.
you need to be able to read the current url, then place that into the body of an email. each language has their own way of doing this.
its not something that you can do with just html
