Email an Entire Web Page

While browsing a webpage in Safari, Pressing Command-I will launch a new message in your default email application. The subject and body of the email will be filled in by the title and body of the page, respectively. All you need to do is fill in the recipient(s), press send, and you’ll be on your way.
While you can only use this feature in Safari, the email sent is viewable in any email client. I tried it out in Mail, Gmail and Hotmail and it worked like a charm in every instance.

Great tip! Now, we're waiting to be able to edit html emails in Mail.
Doesn't work with Eudora
It's a great idea that I have had seen before. Allot of times however the receiver just gets the page without the pictures ( instead of the pictures they see "?" icons) and it has nothing to do with their state of being online or offline ( from internet ). I wonder why that happens? Thanks for the great site.
"Pressing Command-I will launch a new message in your default email application."
I use Gmail as my default mail app, and this does NOT work for me. I get an error message that says "Google Notifier doesn't support sending web pages," and it suggests I use Mail.app for this instead. Unfortunately the only way to do this is be to change my default mail app settings. Fortunately, I can do this on a case-by-case basis.
When you say you "tried it out in Gmail" and it "worked like a charm" I suspect you meant to view the RECEIVED email?
niclet, in my testing of this tip, with Mail.app, I actually was able to "edit" the web page before sending, at least in a WYSIWYG way. I deleted chunks and otherwise "cleaned the page" up before sending.
