Sharing by Email Idea

[Thibautt]

Would be good to have the "share page via email feature" to work like it does for AddThis.

Given that a user presses share via email
Then a popup opens
And user should add email and message

Given that the user confirms sending
Then the email sender is the application owner
And the email is sent using the application owner's mail provider (or own server).

For application owners whom do not have mail providers you should probably keep current behavior default and make new behavior optional.

Since currently this lib is pure client side, how do you imagine the actual sending part?
You mean something like manual popup and you can specify destination endpoint to where submitted data (recipients, subject, body) will be posted?

[Thibautt]

Yes it is indeed what I mean.

For the sending part, We would need a server endpoint that accepts standard parameters. Then we would specify that endpoint as URL and have the popup send standard post parameters to that URL.
e.g. FROM, TO, SUBJECT, MESSAGE and URL
