Hi

I would try using

<CFHTTP method=Get
URL=&quot;

http://www.thissite.com/thisfile.cfm&quot;

ResolveUrl=&quot;Yes&quot;>

<CFMAIL To=&quot;myfriend@hissite.com&quot;
From=&quot;me@mysite.com&quot;
Subject=&quot;Check out this great page&quot;
Type=&quot;html&quot;>

#CFHTTP.filecontent#

</CFMAIL>

That is assuming that the cmf page needs no data sent to it to make it render correctly.

Otherwise you can do this:

<CFHTTP Method=Post
URL=&quot;

http://www.thissite.com/thisfile.cfm&quot;

ResolveUrl=&quot;Yes&quot;>

<CFHTTPParam Type=&quot;URL&quot;
Name=&quot;urlvarname&quot;
Value=&quot;#urlvarname#&quot;>
<CFHTTPparam Type=&quot;FormField&quot;
Name=&quot;FormVar&quot;
Value=&quot;#FormVar#&quot;>
... this can be done with types &quot;Cookie&quot; , &quot;CGI&quot;, and &quot;File&quot; also.


Then Email it the same as above.

Both of these are assuming that the friend can except HTML formated Email if not you can attatch it instead but I'm really bad at that so I'll let you figure that out yourself.


I tested this on my setup and it worked.
Have fun...

Sorry, forgot something.

Use #CGI.HTTP_REFERER# to figure out from which page they clicked on &quot;EMAIL THIS PAGE TO A FRIEND&quot;

Hope you get it working...
