Hi all,
I am looking for a way to create a button that when clicked starts up the users email and fills the body with a pages [[*content]] or a specific div content. Something to using a mailto.
I do not want to make the user have to fill out a form which then handles the email. Ideally the process will work in a similar way to the File->Share->Email this page menu item within Safari.
I found a plugin
EmailResources that seems to do something similar but only within the manager. I need some way to send the page as an email for non-logged in web users.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but if the use doesn't fill out a form and isn't logged in, how would MODX know what email address to use?

The actual email is not sent but rather composed and starts up the users email app just like the way that Safari starts up email and fills the body with the web page content once you select "mail contents of this page".
So there must be a way to dynamically create
<a href="mailto:.....?body=[[*content]]
once a user clicks the "mail this page" icon on a web page.

I think this might do it:
I think this will also work if you don't want an email address:
<a href="mailto:?Subject=Hello"&body=[[*content:urlencode]]>
