You may notice that some popular websites add an “email this article to friend” link at the bottom of the article. This is to let people recommend the article to their friends. Adding such feature in other CMS are very easy, but how about add this features in a Wordpress blog?

There is a Wordpress plugin called WP-Email developed by Lester Chan, which add such feature to your Wordpress blog.

Before users can forward your article to their friends, they have to enter a verification code, which will greatly avoid spamming and will reduce your server usage also.

There are a lot of options which you can configure. For example, you can set your email template, SMTP options, and even a log file to keep track emails being sent by your users.

As a conclusion, this is a must have plugin if you seriously want to let your readers recommend your articles to their friends.
