[Javascript] Emailing page to user

[Andrew Gibson]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I have a report which is generated with an ASP script.
I want to give the user the opportunity to email the page to
himself.
Can I do this with Javascript.
Something similar to the send page by email that is in IE maybe.

Thanks Peter, the answer to the last part is that the client requested a
link so the user could be emailed the file in word format !

Well, I came up with a nifty solution. I used AspTear to grab the
resulting ASP generated page and save into a file. Then I just
attached the file in cdonts and sent it off to the users supplied
email.
But it was a pain, coz I saved the file with an .html extension and cdonts
just put the files contents in the body of the email  !

So I changed the extension to .doc and hey presto, it sent the file as
an attachment, with the bonus the attachment opened directly in Word.

I'd had a problem earlier of how to save a HTML file as a Word attachment,
so I guess that solved that problem too!
