Is there a good "email this" solution?

I like the functionality of Share This, but I only need the "email this" option using my own custom icon. Is there a sensible way to do this?

Thanks!

Add This email-only option

You can create an email-only popup form. This will not affect other AddThis buttons on the page.

Looks simple enough to me

<span class="st_email_button" displayText="Email"></span>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        stLight.options({
                publisher:'12345'
        });
</script>

The simplest is to use JS to populate an A element:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?body=Message body here.">

The simplest method is a mailto link. This will often open in a desktop client. However, Firefox lets you configure it to use a web service, there are extensions (e.g. ChromeMailer) to do the same in other browsers.

It's a little more complicated if you want to send the email from your server.
