>in order to open an outgoing mail in my mailer (Eudora)! Many mailers allow you to click on mailto: links to open a new mail. If the ?subject= and or ?body= extensions are used, these fields are automagically populated by the mailer. It's a useful link if your mailer supports it. Such links also occur on web pages, and if your browser talks nicely to your mailer (like IE talks to Outlook), those links work great. -yuri
