Send a Page, Not a Link

Send a Page, Not a Link

How do you send links? Command+L to highlight the URL? Command+C to copy the link? Go to Mail, create a message, paste in the link…

You don’t have to do all that! If you’re loyal to the natives like Safari and Mail you can take advantage of Command+I when you need to send a page. Yes, Command+I. Safari and Mail will tag-team the rest.

This is so easy, we almost didn’t make the screencast. But maybe you’re at work and you want to see it right now. Go ahead and watch, it’s short.
Take a look at this entry on Hawkwings if you want some more information on other browsers and similar capabilities.

Murphy doesn’t even use Mail in a conventional way. But it’s often open for things like quickly sending attachments, and having the Mac respond to emails demanding action.

This little trick isn’t a bad reason to keep Mail open either.

  1. I don’t like how the entire page gets copied from Safari to Mail. So instead I just copy the text and then select ‘Mail Link to This Page’ (Shift-cmd-I) and paste the contents below the URL.

  2. This is kind of useless, since it doesn’t actually attach image files and the like to the e-mail - all it really does is send the page’s HTML, and often mess up the layout.

  3. Images show up… but sometimes the layout does get ‘messed up’.
