Default How to add submit button that e-mails a page to an address?

I have a customer that wants a form added to their site that would allow a user to enter an e-mail address and send the page address to a friend.

Any opinions on that?

Use FormMail which is a small cgi script that you can call as the form action. There are plenty of versions around to download and making it work is quite easy.

You need to implement some protection on the script or you'll find spammers hijacking it and using it to send all kinds of rubbish.
