Thanks Miles (and also Dan P and Celejar for other solutions).
Indeed Firefox has an archive format (maybe called 'maff'?),
but how
could you mail it to yourself?
That is, how could you mail the maff without taking your hands
off the
keyboard, or switching apps or something like that?
Ideally, the way it would work is you find a blog post or
something
that you like, then you go to a drop-down menu, and select
'mail this
to me'. Are there any plugins that are so savvy?
TIA for any info, and thanks again Dan P and Celejar.

This could be a stand-alone app on the desktop, or a plug-in
to a
browser, or a web site, or some combo. (I guess it could be a
pipeline of curl and some mail program, but i'm afraid i'd
just get
piles of incomprehensible text.)
Well you might try:
curl http://www.foo.com | uuencode page.html | mail
myname@mydomain.com
or
( echo "Content-Type: text/html"; curl http://www.foo.com) |
sendmail
myname@mydomain.com
Now, if you want all the components of a page - like embedded
images and
such, or an entire site - then you might explore some of
curl's options for
downloading a site, pipe that through zip, and email the archive.
Or... most browsers will do this for you!
