Yeah, I wrote a bookmarklet to use the contact form.
javascript:var fullName=""; var emailAddress=""; var
subject=document.title; var url = escape(window.location.href); var
message="Check out \"" + subject + "\" (" + url + ")";
window.open("http://badvista.fsf.org/contact-info?sender_fullname="; +
fullName + "&sender_from_address=" + emailAddress + "&subject=" +
subject + "&message=" + message, "_blank"); void(0);
All you have to do is create a bookmark with that URL, then click it
when you want to use it. By default, it will setup the contact form with:
blank name and email
title of the page for subject
"Check out "title" (URL)" in the message.
These can be easily tweaked. For some reason, the script won't work for
certain weird URLs.
