ubMed will soon include a new feature that will provide users with an easy way to e-mail search results.
</p>
<p><a name="updated" id="updated"></a>[Editor's Note: This feature was added to PubMed on April 23, 2003.]
</p>
<p>
An e-mail selection will be added to the <strong>Send to</strong> pull-down menu. After reviewing your search
results you may click on specific citations or simply choose <strong>E-mail</strong> and then click Send to.
You may e-mail up to 500 items.
</p>
<p>
Options available include: Format, Sort, Items, HTML, or Text. For additional information
on these options please consult PubMed's
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/help/pmhelp.html#E-mail">Help</a>.
You may also enter a message that will be
included with the PubMed search results in the e-mail message.
</p>
<p>
Selections on the results page (See <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>) are reflected on the options screen
(See <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>) and can be modified if desired.
</p>
<center>
<a name="fig1" id="fig1">&nbsp;</a>
<img src="/pubs/techbull/ma03/graphics/email_1.gif" alt="Searching for the International AIDS
Conference by Title Abbrevation and Date"/>
</center>
<br /><br />
<center>
<a name="fig2" id="fig2">&nbsp;</a>
<img src="/pubs/techbull/ma03/graphics/email_2.gif" alt="Using the Limits Feature to Restrict Search"/>
</center>
<p>
After clicking the Mail button, the system will return to your results page and display a
message confirming that the e-mail message was sent. Your PubMed results will be sent from
the NCBI automatic mail server, Sent by Entrez [nobody@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] with a "Subject"
of PubMed Search Results. Do not reply to this message. This is not a functioning customer
service e-mail address.
</p>
<p>
If you choose HTML, the PubMed e-mail message can be displayed as a PubMed results page and
include hyperlinks to Related Articles, LinkOut, and other PubMed features (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 3</a>).
The recipient's e-mail service must be set for HTML view to allow for the proper display of this format.
</p>
<center>
<a name="fig3" id="fig3">&nbsp;</a>
<img src="/pubs/techbull/ma03/graphics/email_3.gif" alt="Using the Limits Feature to Restrict Search"/>
</center>
<p>
Note: Some e-mail services may require additional steps to see the complete e-mail
of search results or may not be able to display the message at all. This is more
likely to happen when large numbers of items and/or larger display formats (e.g.,
Abstract) are sent. In this situation, work with the recipient to decide if e-mailing
search results is the best option. It may be better to use the
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/help/pmhelp.html#Saving">Send to File</a> option rather
than "Send to E-mail," and then attach that file to an e-mail message addressed to the recipient.
