Telling your friends about a great webpage you have found is easy. You can use Mozilla to send the page itself (as HTML) or just a link. It could not be much simpler than this:

Open the page in Mozilla and select either "Send Page" or "Send Link" from the File Menu. Mozilla now opens a new Mail Compose window that is ready to be sent. All you have to do is type your friend's e-mail address, add your personal message into the body and press send.

When you do File | Send Link... in Mozilla Suite 1.7.x, the page is not attached so the message is small, and only the URL appears in the message body while you are composing the message.

When you do File | Send Page... in Mozilla Suite 1.7.x, the page is included as an attachment, and only the URL appears in the message body while you are composing the message. You can view the page to verify it if you Save the message, then look at the message in the Drafts folder in the Mail window. The display of an HTML attachment will be affected by the setting of View | Message Body As.

(Send Page is not available in Firefox 1.0, maybe because it requires starting any external mail client with an attachment (bug 216168).)
