No mail page option - Win 7, Windows Live Mail or Outlook 2010
I would like to be able to open a web page, then send that page as an email message (with the ability to edit it in the email program).
I have a "Send Link by Email" item Under the File menu but not a "Send Page by Email" item.
What do I need to do to get this ability?
Running Win 7 Pro Firefox 13.0.1 Windows Live Mail but changing to Microsoft Outlook 2010 which is installed but have not transferred my mail yet.

Yes, Firefox doesn't have this built in. You could try an add-on. This one came up in a search but I haven't tried it myself: Email This! Note that you need to select the part of the page you want included in the message.
If you try it, could you report back on whether it works for you?
Tried it, doesn't do what I want. I wanted something to be able to use a local HTML file as a basis as a message or as the complete message so that I can use the features available in HTML that are not available in the mail program's editor.
Email This! strips out all the formatting and leaves you with an HTML web page with just text.
I also found http://www.emailtheweb.com/ but it will not work with a local file. It also requires that you must be logged in to Gmail and allow it to send via your account.
It also only emails the full page without giving you a chance to see what it will send or add notes about why you are sending it.
It also adds their advertisement at the top.
Sorry, I misunderstood your question.
In Outlook 2010, there is the concept of "stationery" and also of "templates."
Stationery is an HTML file that you've filled with your content and you can create a new message with it. You would need to copy your local HTML file into Microsoft's Stationery folder. Then to create a new message using your stationery, on the ribbon:
New Item > New email message using > More Stationery
(I think your most recently used Stationery might added to the menu for quicker access)
A template is a draft message saved to the file system. You can read more about these features in Microsoft's help or on its Office support website.
In Windows Live Hotmail, you might be able to use a script or a bookmarklet to insert HTML into the message body. This would take some time to program, and if you are transitioning away from composing your mail online, probably not worth the effort.
In the short run, opening your local HTML page, the using Ctrl+a (to select all) and Ctrl+c (to copy) and pasting into your message body, probably is the quickest solution.
