I don't know whether it's technically possible, but as a *user* I would
like to ask you to think carefully before you mail an entire page to
somebody. For several reasons, links are usually more appreciated.

Many websites nowadays have a lot of junk on every page. Newspapers for
instance. The major newspapers I visit on the Internet repeat most of
the website on every page where they have an article. A page containing
an article that weighs perhaps 30-40 KB has anything up to 4-5 MB of
things like images, ads, flash-programs, animated giffles, javascripts,
intros for all the other articles on the site, et c, et c...

If you have broadband capacity, have a look at the swedish newspapers
http://www.aftonbladet.se , http://www.expressen.se , http://www.dn.se
and www.svd.se (if I remember the adresses correctly). I would not like
to get one of those pages mailed to me over an analog modem connection.
Even with broadband capacity I don't want it, because my inbox can take
only 10 MB...

The best thing to do if you want to mail an entire page is to ask the
recipient first. If you really have to mail it, by all means go ahead
(if your browser/mailer can handle it). In that case I would suppose
that you have gotten the recipient to agree to it.
