You can use this which will open the users mail client. All they would need to do is enter a fiends email address.

HTML Code:
<a href="mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20link...&body=You%20are%20invited%20to%20check%20out%20a%20cool%20site:%20%20http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com">Mail Link to a Friend</a>

You could also tweak a script/input box with those values and have the input box be the input for the email address.

i know this can be done via php
i dont have a script to give u but i have seen one and used one before where the user can enter a email address and it emails a file (the email) to that address

just basically saying try looking at php for the answer maybe...

Using PHP to submit the form contents to an encrypted email address is much more spam-proof than the simple mailto: in the HTML form, as dansgalaxy pointed out try looking for such a solution (only if your server allows PHP).

The best way that i have found is to create a php. I use a program called forms to go and it takes form fields on a current site and turns it into a .php file that you keep on your server.

take a look and see if that will help you out any.

How are your newsletters stored on your server? If they arn't, implement that first.
