I have an HMTL / CSS website built in Dreamweaver CS4 and I would like to add a 'share by email' link to the site (so that anyone who clicks on it can easily send a link to the site to their chosen recipient). I would like one of those envelope icons, but preferably customisable in size so it would fit nicely with other icons I have.

Please could someone kindly advise me as to what is the easiest way of doing this - I am a beginner. Thanks in advance.

Something like this might be the easiest way.

<a href="mailto:?subject=I wanted you to see this site&amp;body=Check out this site http://www.website.com."
   title="Share by Email">
  <img src="http://png-2.findicons.com/files/icons/573/must_have/48/mail.png">
</a>

You could find another email image and add that if you wanted.
