That's a good point, but my purpose is normally to send a page 
to myself for easy reference in a special mailbox. I could 
copy/paste from Opera into a mail message, but Opera doesn't 
let you keep the HTML formatting, unlike IE. With other people 
I normally just use links.

That's a good point, but I only do this when pages offer a print 
view which is virtually all text.
