What you can do is using the TITLE attribute of the <a> element. Only a few browsers will support it thought, but it will not break browsers which do not support it. Netscape 2.0 and newer versions of Lynx will understand 'mailto:foo@bar.com?subject=bla'. However, people using browsers which do not understand that, including Netscape pre-2.0 browsers, will send out undeliverable mail, as "foo@bar.com?subject=bla" is not a valid email address. You will not even get those messages. Abigail -- <URL: http://www.edbo.com/abigail/> (Changed)
