Every article has a dynamic email link so i hacked every mention of "/profiles.php?sid=unixtimestamp&what=emailstory"
into
/profilesemail/unixtimestamp/emailstory/

Then created a new folder called profilesemail and then created a .htaccess document in this new folder. the Mod_Rewrite rules in this doc are:

RewriteBase /profilesemail/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/$ /profiles.php?sid=$1&what=$2
