I'm resurrecting this feature request from
[[Wikipedia:Village pump]]
where it is discussed under "Wikipedia Evangelism".
The point raised was the desirability of an easy way to ask a friend
to comment on the accuracy of an article, or simply to point out an
interesting article to someone.
How about doing what a lot of news pages do? Add a box at the bottom
of each article
[] Send this article to a friend
along with a java mailer to fire the message off and a text box to add
a note. Having a linked mailer would eliminate the necessity of
firing up a mail program.
This would be a most cool feature. Of course, it would only be available to
logged-in users that have valid email addresses set-up in their preferences.
