Adding a share by email link to website

Question

I have an HMTL   CSS website built in Dreamweaver CS4 and I would like to add a  share by email  link to the site  so that anyone who clicks on it can easily send a link to the site to their chosen recipient   I would like one of those envelope icons  but preferably customisable in size so it would fit nicely with other icons I have    Please could someone kindly advise me as to what is the easiest way of doing this - I am a beginner  Thanks in advance

Something like this might be the easiest way.

<a href="mailto:?subject=I wanted you to see this site&amp;body=Check out this site http://www.website.com."
   title="Share by Email">
  <img src="http://png-2.findicons.com/files/icons/573/must_have/48/mail.png">
</a>

You could find another email image and add that if you wanted.
