[Zope] Help eMail this page to a friend

[Phil Harris]

Loren,

Take a look at the 'Printable Page' link at the bottom of every Zope.org
page.

Basically all it does is to replace the standard header/footer with one that
allows nice printing.

You could do the same except wrap the page in the sendmail stuff, and Robert
is your father's brother.

Shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Phil
