To follow up on what Harald.T.Alvestrand@uninett.no said ... Note that any system which sends mail without a manual check first is, IMHO, dangerous. So I certainly hope implementors of both mailto: and mailserver: URLs do this stuff carefully.... The discussion has at least proved (to me) that it would be a Good Thing to have someone <volunteers queue to the left, please..> write up some guidelines for how mailto: should be implemented. Most of what you have to worry about is mail-client-generic and should be handled by a reference by title to whatever the mail security group tells us. One URL-specific function that I don't want to forget is that the current context URL -- the equivalent of the "Referrer:" header in HTTP -- should be automatically affixed to the sent mail by the client as perhaps a "Referrer:" or the weaker "References:" header. And I would be glad to do what I can to help with this. Al
