SUMMARY: Found an interesting website? Let your friends know via e-mail.

Found an entertaining, informative, or useful website while browsing the web with Internet Explorer 7 and wish to share it with your friends, family, or officemates?

If you use client-based e-mail software such as Outlook 2003 or Outlook Express, Internet Explorer makes this easy.

1. Click the "Page" button, selecting "Send Link by E-Mail".

2. Your default e-mail program will open. The message subject will contain the title of the currently-browsed webpage, and the body will contain a hyperlink to that webpage.

3. Enter your recipient, edit the message body, subject, or other fields as needed, and send away! Please, no mass-emailing!
