>Correct. But I would add a set focus beforehand. If you don't, and the user has set the focus to a different program in between your first page and the one you are about to close, then when closing it, the page on the forefront would be the other program (maybe Excel or something), instead of the previous browser page. This could be confusing for some users.
Also in this example it is done inline. No need for a separate javascript function, which is only needed if you plan to so something complex and/or reusable. Either one works fine.
<a href="http://myredirectingsite.com?URL=123456 OnClick="javascript:window.opener.focus();window.close();">Send me an email</a>
