   I too wish TypePad would allow a default “Mail This” link. I see that MT actually has the functionality, but I can not find reference for it on TP. As a work around I created this code:

   a h.r.e.f.=mailto:?subject=Read this post from the $MTBlogName$body=$MTEntryTitle$%0A$MTEntryPermalink$%0A%0A$MTBlogURL$Email This Post/a

   It uses a mailto tag that will call up the default mail client. The code doesn’t work on all mail clients, and won’t do much for web based email user either… I was able to test it on Apple Mail and Outlook Express.

   BTW, if you use the code I posted in your comments, remove the dots between the h r e f. I had to do that to get past the rule won’t allow HTML in comments.

   Wow Mike, that’s an awesome tip! I already implemented it for my index page, and now have to go modify the individual post / archive pages to include the code.

   Thanks so much for the help with that – I’ll be creating a future post about your clever workaround -and of course I’ll give ya credit for it and link to your blog
