Anyone >got any ideas? I also agree that this would be useful. Possibly we can specify an uncommon delimiter for tokens, such as "++" before and after, that can be used or ignored by the client. Thus, "++my-address++" could be automatically replaced by the client when the mail message is presented to the user for approval; if it isn't replaced, at least it will still stand out visually and the user will (hopefully) change it before sending the message off. On the other hand, there is no concept of such tokens in the URL spec, and I'm not sure that this is the proper place to open that client-side CanO'Worms. If we do, we should make it scalable to the other URL schemes. Off the top of my head, I can see how it could also be useful in the telnet scheme. --Paul Hoffman --Proper Publishing
