Sending Email

You can email links to news items and web pages—or email the contents, instead of just links.

How to email a link to a news item or web page

With a news item selected, or with a web page tab open, choose File > Mail Link for This News Item.

(If a web page tab is open, the command will be File > Mail Link for This Page.)

A new outgoing email message will appear in your regular email application. You can add comments if you want—and choose a recipient—before sending it.

How to email the contents of a news item or web page

With a news item selected, or with a web page tab open, choose File > Mail Contents of This News Item.

(If a web page tab is open, the command will be File > Mail Contents of This Page.)

If you use Mail (Apple’s email program), then a new outgoing message will appear with the contents of the news item or web page.

If you don’t use Mail, NetNewsWire will ask you if it’s okay to use Mail to send this email. If you choose not to use Mail, you can choose to email a link instead, using your default email application.

(Why only Mail? Because, so far, we’ve found it’s the only email application that has a way for other applications to create HTML-formatted email. We’d like to add support for other email programs, too.)
