For the past few years I have been using a Java scrip, I can't recall where I got it.

Create a new bookmark and copy the following into the location.

javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href)

Name the bookmark something like "Send Link" and put it in your Bookmark Toolbar.
Works every time.

I use this javascript as well. The best part is it works on the iphone as well.

In-browser methods exist, too.

You can use the same JavaScript technique with a URL redirector to do the same thing without involving Mail at all. For example, http://mu.subsume.com/ makes it pretty trivial to "send" pages to an iPhone (or someone else, like the OP wanted).
