Over 40% could not get their "mailto" forms to work, even WITHOUT using non-standard syntax to include subjects and what-not. All were using NN 3.x and IE 3.x (or higher in both -- most using 4.x generation), and current popular email software including Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, and Communicator.
