Sending web pages as body of email.

Hi everyone,
So, I know how to open webpage and go to FILE> Mail contents of this page. But for some reason when I do this and email someone and they try to forward this on to another person everything becomes all jumbled up in the body of the message. I have tested this by sending myself and email both on my MAC and PC and it does this with my MAIL app too. Does anyone know why this is so difficult to do?
I heard that the new MAIL in leopard was going to be able to do this better. I just want to send out email brochures to my client mailing list but I want them to be able to forward them on as well.
Thanks,

Instead of trying to send the contents of the webpage, simply send a nice note to your contacts in this email and insert the web address.
Like:"Come visit my new webpage and forward this note to your friends...".
THEN, paste the URL of your page into the email (http://www.MyNewExamplePage.com)
or whatever your website address is.
Formatting an email as true HTML can be a little hard, since (as you've found) since different email programs, ie: your recipients, display HTML email differently.
Plus, as THEY forward your mail, it's THEIR email program which changes the formatting...you have lost control of the formatting as soon as you click send.
Send out the URL. And poke around here for more tips for success.

  • Sending a Pages document as an email but not an email attachmentt

    using iwork '08 and a pages newsletter template, is there a way to send a pages document as an email without making it an attachment? for business a newsletter is better for clients if it arrives in the email as the body of the email instead as in the form of an attachment. how is that possible with Pages?

    Hi J,
    Copy the contents of the Pages document and Paste into the body of the email. Try this and see if the formatting remains satisfactory.

  • I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error.

    I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609.  Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2.  My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.

  • I'm trying to send a pages document as an email attachment to pc users.  They can't access the document.

    I'm trying to send a pages document as an email attachment to pc users.  They can't access the document.  When I try go to the "file" menu, there is no "save as" option.

    Hi Shelly,
    Command-P (Print)
    In the Print dialogue, click the PDF button at lower left, choose Mail PDF
    The result should be a new email document with the pdf file attached.
    Address and send.
    The procedure applies to any document which may be printed, not just Pages documents.

  • Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email.  Why?!

    Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email.  Why?!

    For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem.  I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail.  I did the conversion while running Yosemite.  I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!!  The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space.  The message begins at the top of p.2.
    If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message.  Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message. 
    Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem??  I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message.  So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
    Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired.  Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!!  Anyone else made any progress on this?

    Quit and relaunch Safari and try sharing a webpage.

    Which documentation would you reccomend? I've only found this:
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b25986/toc.htm
    It looks more like techical documentation than user documentation. I don't find many "how to"s in that particular doc.
    This one is OK, but not detailed enough
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b25159/monitor.htm
    It also doesn't identify which functions are free and which ones are licensable costing $$.

  • Can no longer send a web page to someone's email address, want that ability back. How to fix?

    Hello, I miss the little orange rectangle in the upper left corner of my mozilla firefox screens, now that I have the new version, from which I could click and it would drop a menu down with some selections, one being "share" and I could email a link for the page I was on in firefox, to someone in my email list. I use Thunderbird, by the way. Is there still a way to email links to web pages from mozilla? If not, is there a way to get the old firefox version back? Thank you much.<br>

  • Mail won't send web page content or link

    I posted this the other day on the Safari site but should have posted here as well.
    Suddenly I am unable to forward a web page in Safari 3.12 through Mail. I get the message:
    "Safari couldn’t create an email message because it couldn’t locate an email application.
    You can use the Mail application included with Mac OS X to send email. To do so, you might need to install Mail using the Mac OS X installation CDs."
    This occurs whether I wish to mail the link to the page or the page contents. The program has been installed since I purchased the laptop and never had a problem doing this before. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks,
    Dennis

  • My Firefox v. 8 no longer links to web pages in e.g. email messages. Only links if I open Firefox first. Would be v. grateful for advice

    I have had v 8.01 installed for several weeks. All worked OK on installation. Since the last few days I cannot navigate to any web page from e.g a link in an email, unless I open Firefox first. Somehow the mechanism for opening Firefox has failed. Instead of opening Firefox, clicking on a link opens my Windows Explorer window at My Documents.'''bold text'''

  • IPad won't copy text from web page and paste in email

    I'm trying to copy text from a web page, and when I paste it in Note or in a new email, it copied the web page link, not the text. Doing this in iPad.  What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    I think it depends on what you are trying to copy.
    To copy, put your finger on the text and hold until the copy thing shows up.  Adjust the size to whatnyou want, then touch copy.( I know, you already knew that).  To paste, touch the screen where you want it to go until the paste thing shows up.
    I just did it
    glass, metal and minimalist design. Two.    ( pasted from a web page)
    Some pages are set up so that you cannot copy words or images.
    So try a different page to see if you are doing it right.   
    If you want, post the link to the page and we call all try it as well.

  • Sending Web Pages via Safari - no cooperation from Yahoo

    I recently switched from Entourage to Mail. One reason was the ability to send a web page via Mail.
    As a trial, I e-mailed a web page to my Yahoo account. When I viewed the e-mail in Yahoo via Safari, all the images had "?". When I viewed the same e-mail in Yahoo via Firefox (using the new Yahoo Beta Plus), the images rendered correctly, however, the page rendered poorly (background missing).
    Of course, the web page renders correctly when viewed via the Mail program.
    I'd like to hear others experiences with E-mailing a web page. Is this a problem on Yahoo end, or on the web page?
    thanks

    I just asked my daughter about some I had sent her. My Q,and her A was:
    Q When I send a full web page in a message, as I did the one about (referenced one recent), does Yahoo fully render it?
    A Not in the version I'm using right now. There is a newer Beta version that looks a lot like Outlook -- I don't know if that is any better or not. I can't switch to the Beta version because I can't use it at work because of the way our network is set up.
    She has a paid Yahoo account, btw.
    So there is some problem, with Yahoo, that I cannot fully explore since I don't use a Yahoo account. I will test the result with my Gmail account receiving, both as seen in Safari access, and Mail access, and post back.
