Yes, it probably should do what you suggest. It is not specified in the HTML 4.0 specification how mailto: actions should be handled, so it is pretty implementation specific. I am used to it working for an input called subject, but that's all I've ever come across, and I don't know if anything more is reliable.

Seems to me you can just use a mailto: url as the action attribute of an html form element like this: <form name=seek method=POST action="mailto:rcaloggero@bhcc.state.ma.us"> <em>Name: </em><input type=text name=qt size=40 value="" maxlength=2047> ... ... ... I've tried using method = GET as well as POST -- it just warns me about e-mail submission and puts me in my mail program with a blank message. Shouldn't it at least have the names of the input fields along with their values as strings like "qt=Something"? Sorry for the newbie question.
