Send e-mail modules

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

The following modules all add a link to send an e-mail to someone with a link to/content of the current node (or just the site):

Stats updated: 2011-10-31

The stats for the print module are inflated by the fact that it also provides PDF and printer-friendly generation (and the fact that it is bundled with Acquia Drupal). The most advanced module in terms of sending an e-mail is probably the forward module.

Notes and Discussion

invite: only to the site, includes a API (hook_invite), but does not provide the link to a node (from where a user decided to invite)
addthis: just an interface for addthis.com

Printer, e-mail and PDF versions

  • The email component of this module only allows for HTML emails to be sent, not proper multipart/mime emails. Until this is fixed, other modules above may still be useful. There's an issue in the print queue about this over at #372289.
