Default Firebird Question


Does anyone know if it is possible, within Firebird, to "send page" or
"send link"?

First you should know that you must download "Thunderbird" for your
email client. When composing email, there is "Insert" on the toolbar.
Click on this, then click "Link." You can then use a one word (or more)
name for the link when you copy the link into the second dialog box.

Um, not quite.

Firefox, as a browser doesnt send mail, but it allows you to choose what
mail program you wish. You can use almost any email program you want to,
thats the advantage of the Firefox modular design.

Optionally you can download and use the WebMailCompose extension, which
gives you Send Link Send Page items

To send a link (even without the extension) simply copy the link and
paste it into your email message.

Firefox currently has no means of ascertaining if your email program of
choice is Send Page capable.

Um, not quite again...

Actually, FireFox has a 'send link' option right under 'File' on the
menu, or you can, alternately, right-click anywhere on the page and
select 'Send Link' and it will open whatever Email App you have selected
as your default.

No, you can't 'Send Page', but, honestly, it's usually not really smart
to send an entire webpage to someone via email anyway...lots of java and
flash and such...

But sending a link takes one press of a button.
