Looking for 'self email' sender

vinayakjoshi:
Check out Scribbly

Renegade:
I wrote a tutorial a number of years ago that has source code on how to send email in an emergency:

It's close to what you want. You'd want to add in some saved settings, but that's not hard.

Many people don't follow links, we know, so here is the link's text:

Scribbly Takes Notes and Emails Them to You

Windows/Mac/Linux (with Adobe AIR):

Note-taking application Scribbly lives in your system tray and lets you quickly write notes or reminders to yourself, and then will email them to you with a single click.

Once you've installed the application, you can simply click the system tray icon to bring up the single note-taking window, type in whatever note you'd like to send to yourself, and then send it off with the click of a button—you'll need to set your email address in the settings, of course. The notes persist even after you minimize the application to the tray, so you can use it to take little notes throughout the day, and then email them to yourself before you go home.

The application is very simple, but where it could be really useful is when you combine it with Gmail's plus-addressing feature—just add something like [email protected] to your email address in the settings, and then setup a Gmail filter to automatically put those notes into a separate label for storage. It's a useful feature that makes it worth a look, at least. Scribbly is free, and for all platforms with Adobe AIR

HTML is supported, and so is the use of hotkeys.

-no, I wasn't. No matter what I do, I can't install AIR widgets. First I updated all Adobe programs, but that didn't make any difference. I even rebooted and prevented each and every program from starting, including security related programs (!), but to no avail. All I get is an error message from the homepage's AIR. But I don't think this is due to the homepage; I think it is something on my computer; in general I cannot get AIR widgets.

Is it somehow possible for any of you guys to download this widget, and zip it and pass it on to me?

Thanks for the pointers above to the Scribbly widget - I had not known about that.
The only concern I have about Scribbly is that it is an AIR application and it might not be secure, and that I could be inadvertently giving my email address and other personal data away to spammers/scammers.

Adobe must have similar thoughts too - just look at the terms and conditions of their Consumer Marketplace Agreement they oblige you to accept if you use any of their AIR applications/widgets.

I have therefore avoided using AIR like the plague, but this widget does seem quite nifty.
