Danny, not helping with your problem at all, but why do you want
to send a web page to someone, rather than *just* the link to
the page??
Or am I misinterpreting what you are trying to do??
Sounds right, but that's not what "Send Page" on the context menu
does.
Try it -- open up, say, Google, right-click in a blank part of the
page, and choose "Send Page."
A mail composition window opens with <http://www.google.com/> in
the body (complete with angle brackets!) and www.google.com/ in the
attachment pane. Why the attachment, I don't know, but it has
nothing to do with gmail. It's SeaMonkey that's doing that.
Paul, have you actually tried doing as you suggest above (i.e. send
yourself the link *and* the attachment)??
With the link shown in the body, and the attachment show up in its
little window, I sent the e-mail to myself, and when received, the
attachment was shown below the line (i.e. show attachments in-line),
there was all this information that I had never seen before, e.g.

Amazing what the code can hide!
OK, yes, I did try, twice.
The first attempt was to my gmail address, and sure enough, Google
blocked it. There was no notice to the recipient, but they did send a
bounce message to the sender:
<myaddr...@gmail.com>: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.133.27] said:

552 5.7.0 review our attachment guidelines. hb9si12910005icc.13 -
gsmtp (in
reply to end of DATA command)
The second attempt was to an address with a different ISP, and it
arrived instantly. In this case, I saw what I described before -- the
link in the body and the "attachment" in the attachment pane. When I
tried to save the "attachment," the suggested filename changed to
"www.google.com-" with a hyphen instead of a slash, which may be due to
Windows file naming limitations. The "Save as type" setting was "all
files (*.*)." When I moused over the icon (I put it on my desktop), the
tooltip said inter alia "Type: COM- file," and when I tried to open it,
Windows told me it didn't know what to do with that file type. I'm sure
if I deleted the comma, it would've tried to process it as a command file.
Looking at the source code for that second message, I see:
