Mac OS X Tip Of The Day: Using Safari To Email Web Pages Through Mail.app

Have you ever come across a blog entry that got you so excited you just had to let everyone know about it? As in, like, right away? If you answered yes to that question... well, that kinda makes you a bit pathetic, doesn't it? I mean c'mon... surely you can find things in your life that are more exciting. Right?

Anyway...

Some blog entries have an "email this" button at the end of every post. Comes in very handy if you really just have to send that post you found with yet another picture of a drunken Tara Reid to all the people in your mailing list. But if that button is nowhere to be found, fear not, for Safari - Apple's supercool browser - is here to make your lives easier. Hoorah! :-D

Here's how it works: when you're browsing a web page using Safari, hitting Command+i on your keyboard will automatically open that web page in a new Mail.app message ready to be sent to anyone on your address book. It's so easy! This keyboard shortcut is also very handy if you'd like to send any HTML formatted emails using Mail.app. Just create your HTML page using TextEdit or any wsywig HTML editor, open it in Safari and press Command+i. Voila! But some people despise getting HTML formatted emails so be sure to go easy on the neon-colored fonts and animated butterfly gifs.
