When I find a web page that might be of interest to someone I know, I send an email suggesting they have a look. I want this email to be short and enable the recipient to decide quickly if the page is, in fact, of interest. The email usually includes some text from the page, a link, and a comment from me.
But, if you do it often, this recipient-friendly approach becomes labor intensive for the sender. There’s too much copying, pasting, and application switching. Hence this Applescript. It puts text you select in Safari into a new Mail message within quotation marks, appends the page link, and puts the page name into the email’s subject field. Add a comment, if you wish, and press send.
