Mailing Safari URLs via Mail - iPad
Since the iPad doesn’t have an easy way to share web links, this comes in handy. Create a bookmark with the enclosed javascript and let it automagically do the rest for you.
Mailing Safari URLs via Mail - revisited

Last week, a hint explained how to use AppleScript to email Safari URLs. Buried in the comments to that article is a gem of a tip with a different solution to the problem. Although this hint is clearly related to the first, it uses a completely different method, and I think it’s worth running as a hint of its own. So here it is…
Full credit for this hint goes to amit_kr, who wrote:
I wanted the ability to do the same thing, and found a much simpler and convenient way. Drag this link (actually a javascript) to your bookmark bar; the content of the link is this line:
javascript:location.href=’mailto:?SUBJECT=’+document.title+’&BODY=’+escape(location.href)
Call it whatever (say ‘e’). Since this is a bookmark (and not a folder), a hotkey is assigned to it (command-1 to command-9) by Safari.
Now whenever you need to send the page title and URL to someone, just press the hot key, and that’s it!! A mail message is created with the title of the page as the subject, the URL as the body, and the cursor active on the “To:” field.
So one could select a part of the webpage, press Command-C (to copy), Command-2 (to compose Mail with URL and title already there), type in the recipient’s address, hit tab twice, press Command-V (to paste the selection), and hit send!
This has become my first-position bookmark, so I can email URLs with a quick Command-1.
