The way to do this today is to use an HTML form to get these headers and use a CGI program to process the data the user inputs in this form to mail the message. Problematic, yes, but that's the only way you can do this given current URL schemes. I believe work is being done at this point to improve the functionality of the mailto scheme, but that is definetely the way to do it. Incedentaly, this is not the forum to ask this question.
