how do you transfer an e-mail directly to a website?

I want to take an e-mail I received, and post it on a social media website (Facebook). I tried using using the "from" link at the top of the e-mail itself, but it doesn't work.

I can't think of a way to make that direct transfer. Assuming you want to show the sender, date/time, and subject line, try using Forward to insert that information into a new message, then, without sending the message, copy and paste from the new message body. Is that close enough?

jscher2000: That suggestion doesn't work. But it's all good. There is a "share" button on the web page, and I was wanting to share it on Facebook, so that's solved, and that's all there was to it. Thanks, though, for the quick reply.


Best wishes, Tommy

You can usually just copy-and-paste the text. ;-)

Thanks, Zenos, I think I have it now. I'm not 100% sure, but the e-mail contains pictures, so I'm going to give it a rip, and see what happens. Will be back to Mozilla support if it doesn't work.
