Here's a little javascript

javascript:location.href='mailto:? 
SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY=<'+escape(location.href)+'>\r'


I've pasted it into my Bookmarks Bar in Safari. Any time I want to send  
a URL, I click the button (which I've called SendURL) and presto! The  
URL gets pasted into an email message to send to whoever I wish.

If you wonder how to get it into the Bookmarks Bar, here's what I did

Create a bookmark for any site, place it in the Bookmarks Bar.
Open your bookmarks to edit them (button on the far left of the  
Bookmarks Bar)
Find the one you just added, click on it to highlight and rename it,  
then in the url area, paste in the javascript above.

Done.

it. That's a major difference in approach: Windows thinks it's a  
surprise worth telling you about when something works. Apple doesn't."
