Except that the behavior of a mailto link is totally under the control of the user's user agent (browser) and can/should be configured within the browser if the user the desires. Therefore I think this is at worst a problem with user agents, and not a problem with mailto: links at all. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
