In case of a video node that a user would like to send to a friend, the HTML code will not work on a regular e-mail client (only clicking the link will actually show the video page).

As the video module has a way to automatically generate a thumbnail image (or upload any image to work as the thumbnail), it would be useful if the send module could automatically output that thumbnail image in the body of the e-mail, instead of the regular HTML body of the node.

Any ideas and suggestions will be highly appreciated, as we have started working on this feature today.

Thanks in advance,

Replacing one type of content with another would require more knowledge of the content than the send module has. I'm not sure how to fix this systematically.

One short-term solution for you is to override the theme_send_body function to make changes as required.

Proposed way to do it: use video module with thumbnails enabled, and send that page.
