Hmmm.. I wouldn't say that. This issue has been discussed at length, and several proposals similar to mailto:foo@bar?subject=xxx have been made. See, for example, the mailserver thread on the uri mailing list: http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&what=web&fmt=.&q=host%3Awww.acl.lanl.gov+%2Bmailserver If something along these lines is in operation today, I'd like to see it written up. Anybody care to write up this revision of the mailto: URL scheme? You can write it as an IETF draft if you like, or we can publish it as a W3C working draft. There's been a lot of noise about revising RFC1738. I'm not sure what exactly is going to happen along those lines. Dan
