It used to be that ALL the browsers I used had a "forward as email" menu
option, and, as I recall, some of them would bundle together pictures
and other includes that went with a page.
I just checked, and to my horror, I now see that NONE of my browsers
(Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge) offer that option - one offers "save as
PDF" and another offers "mail link to page."
I expect that Seamonkey might still offer it - given that it still
combines a browser and mail client in one program - but it's gotten
flakier of late, which is why I stopped using it.
It also seems like various plug-ins and services, for doing this, have
disappeared. Now I'm kind of curious about it.

Thanks Miles (and also Dan P and Celejar for other solutions).
Indeed Firefox has an archive format (maybe called 'maff'?), but how
could you mail it to yourself?
That is, how could you mail the maff without taking your hands off the
keyboard, or switching apps or something like that?
Ideally, the way it would work is you find a blog post or something
that you like, then you go to a drop-down menu, and select 'mail this
to me'. Are there any plugins that are so savvy?
TIA for any info, and thanks again Dan P and Celejar.

This could be a stand-alone app on the desktop, or a plug-in to a
browser, or a web site, or some combo. (I guess it could be a
pipeline of curl and some mail program, but i'm afraid i'd just get
piles of incomprehensible text.)
Well you might try:
curl http://www.foo.com | uuencode page.html | mail myn...@mydomain.com
or
( echo "Content-Type: text/html"; curl http://www.foo.com) | sendmail
myn...@mydomain.com
Now, if you want all the components of a page - like embedded images and
such, or an entire site - then you might explore some of curl's options for
downloading a site, pipe that through zip, and email the archive.
Or... most browsers will do this for you!
