Resolved How email a link in Chrome if No email option?

Using Chrome in Win7-Pro, most websites show a right click drop down menu item for
"Share Link Via Email" so it's easy to forward via Outlook.

However, some websites don't show an email option in the drop down.

What is the best way to email a website link when there is no such option?

 

Copy and paste.

 

Oh boo hoo!

Copy and paste seems kinda crude for a modern browser.
Also you have to copy/paste the subject line also.

Why oh why does Chrome include the email choice for many but not all websites like IE does?

 

Hi robls99, Is this what you want: "Send Link by Email or Gmail "

retirelearner,

Great, I'll give it a try.

PS: What does "100% TB user" mean?

 

retiredlearner,

For some reason the above extension adds the word "undefined" at the top of the body of an outlook email (ie the blank part of the Send where you usually start typing your message.

Any idea of how to get rid of that?

 

the bookmarklet given here works for me.

Code:

javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href);

 

Thanks, I'll take a look at that too.

 

It means he uses only Thunderbird as his email client.
