Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): If you find yourself regularly selecting, copying, and then pasting text from your browser into emails, Email This! is a definite time saver.

Download Clipper and save it to ~/Library/Services/ (you may need to create that directory, I did), and log out and back into your Mac.
