that is _not_ a wise way to do it, you should include some form of 
restrictions on how many
emails can be sent to a single account within X minutes for example. 
Further you should
restrict by HTTP_REFERER (yep it's poor, but it's better than nothing) so 
that a automated
script can't use your email-article-to-a-friend function to "spam" 
thousands of people without
any work...

There are quite a few considerations to take into account when writing a 
email-article-to-a-friend
function, just to be on the safe side...
