	URL handling is not part of the HTML specification and
	therefore off topic.

	I don't believe that the URL specification covers the
	use of parameters on mailto:, so I think you are talking
	about proprietory features of particular browsers.

	Many browsers allow mailto: URLs as form actions,
	but the result tends not to be very friendly.

	[DJW:]  Please report any browser which allows Javascript to
	send mail to a third party to the relevant security mailing
	list.  Such a feature would be highly undesirable, unless 
	restricted to pages identified as completely trusted 
	(onload="spam the next 50 victims").
