Send via Mail

Send Pages or Links via Mail

Send via Mail is a dead-simple extension for Google Chrome, for sending links to your mailbox. 🦩 How does it work? Send via Mail can be accessed either by its icon in the browser bar, or from the context menu. When applied to a page, the extension creates a URL using the 'mailto' URI scheme (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6068) pre-filling the subject with the page's title and the body with the page's URL. When applied to a link, the extension also creates a URL, pre-filling subject and body with the link URL. The mailto URL is then opened in a new tab, delegating handling to your device. You might have to configure handling of mailto URLs as is described here https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9308783?hl=en. 🦩 What permissions does it require? - "activeTab": Access the active tab's title and URL. - "contextMenus": Allow using the extension from a context menu action. - "storage": Store the default email address. 🦩 Is it secure? Yes. Send via Mail delegates the actual handling to the local email client. All the settings are only synced with Chrome (given that sync has been enabled), and never shared with anyone else. The extension is Open-source Software and available on GitHub https://github.com/alexgutjahr/send-via-mail 🦩 Feedback If you find the extensions useful or want to provide some feedback, feel free to reach out to me via [email protected].
