There are different ways to send a webpage to someone. One is to copy and paste the URL in the email. Another method is to copy and paste the page's content in the body of the email.

Copying and pasting a website's URL is quicker, but less engaging than including the entire webpage. A full webpage is attention-grabbing and can help you to quickly decide whether the information is relevant.

Here are three ways to send a complete webpage via email for sites that don't have a built-in option of emailing a full webpage.

Go Ahead and Send It

Whichever method works for you, note that sending a complete webpage rather than a link might bulk up the download for the recipient. However, with faster internet connection speeds, a few extra kilobytes should go unnoticed.

The webpage may not retain its formatting as it is used in different style environments, except for pages shared by web capture or screen clipping, for instance.
