Description
Does this module offer different features from the "Send" module (http://drupal.org/project/send)?
#1
Send.module functions as a "email this page" tool. While you could create a content type (or even just use page) to create a node that has a message you wish for your site visitors to share with others it sends the node with a link back to it, and only can send to single addresses.
Tellafriend provides a form that your visitors could send email to multiple people, and add their personal message to a static message from the site. Usually this is used to let site visitors share the site with their friends, but could also be used to allow them to send a form letter to political leaders, etc. Down side is tellafriend only does plain text emails (not that I mind ), but Send requires mimemail which does html emails.
Tellafriend also only allows one message, where send could be setup to provide different messages.
So if you only need to let your visitors send one message to multiple people, and you don't mind plain text, tellafriend is the one.
If you want to be able to setup multiple messages that your users could email out to one of there friends, would like HTML emails, or need a e-mail this page function, Send is best.

send module is not compatible with drupal 6 for now.
