Re: How about extending mailto: ?

I think another key aspect of extension would be to enable CCing. Many 
times I have not bothered using a mailto within a web page simply because 
I wouldn't get a copy of my own message.

Another point about mailto is that different mailers handle the resulting 
message differently. When people use mailto to mail a note to me from my 
web, I get perfectly-configured From and Subject lines. But when I use it 
to communicate with some people they wonder how I managed to send them a 
note with no From and Subject lines - which can only mean that the letter 
didn't conform to their mailer's requirements.
