RE: MAILTO

i think you misunderstood RFC2368

     mailtoURL  =  "mailto:"; [ to ] [ headers ]
defines mailtoURL is "mailto:"; and may be followed by to or headers
     to         =  #mailbox
defines to must be a valid mailbox
     header *( "&" header )
defines header may be several headers separated by "&"
     header     =  hname "=" hvalue
defines 1 header is hname follow by "=" followed by hvalue
     hname      =  *urlc
defines hname is 1 or more url characters (i think that's between ascii x'33' 
and x'7f' both included)
     hvalue     =  *urlc
defines hvalue is 1 or more url characters

Thank you for your many, and thorough, answers.

Currently I have:
<a href
="mailto:webmaster@dekko.com?SUBJECT=LOGIN010&BODY=Webmaster,%0D%0A%0D%0AI%20am%20having%20a%20problem%20with%20your%20website%20at%0D%0Ahname

*urlc">Feedback</a>

I have one problem.  And I have one enhancement I want to make.

Problem:  The body of the message is appearing as follows:
Webmaster,

I am having a problem with your website at
hname=*urlc
Basically it is not doing the new line that the %0D%0A is supposed to be
doing.  Instead it is putting in the bold vertical bars.

Enhancement:  I want to put a link back to the url generating the message
without hardcoding the url.  Hans gave me a link which talked about an
"X-Url" header.  Also RFC2368 mentioned something about:  hname=*urlc and
hvalue=*urlc.

i've tested X-URL here and ie6 does not put that in the message header

here is code that does what you want if javascript is enabled (works on ie6, 
don't know for other browsers)

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function setHref(linkObj) {
        if ( linkObj.href.indexOf('BODY')<0 ) {
                linkObj.href = linkObj.href
                        + '&BODY=Webmaster,%0D%0A%0D%0AI am having a problem 
with your website at%0D%0A'
                        + document.location;
        }
}
//-->
</script>
<a href="mailto:webmaster@dekko.com?SUBJECT=LOGIN010"; 
onclick="setHref(this)">Feedback</a>
