This tip comes from the folks at MacFixIt.com

Here is a way to add a "mail button" to Safari that will work with your  
default mail browser.

1) Start Safari.
2) Select and copy the following line of code (it needs to be one line):

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

3) paste that line into the url address box. You will notice a little  
blue icon appear in front of what you just pasted.
4) Use the mouse to grab the icon and drag it down to the bookmark bar.  
You will be asked to give it a name, call it something imaginative  
like, oh, say MailTo. Press return and the bookmark will now appear as  
MailTo in the bookmark bar.

Now when you have a page open and click on the MailTo bookmark, your  
default Mail application will open and a message will be ready to go  
with the site's page title pre-filled in as the message's subject. The  
body of the message will contain the url of that web-site for you.

Neat trick. Ahh, the power of JavaScript.
