When putting a mailto: hyperlink on a webpage, what html do you attach to it

BTW, you might want to experiment (or look up if there is an official use)
with some browsers to see whether any of them convert '+' to ' ' in the
'subject=' portion of the URL...  You'd think they would, because they
should, but I noticed that at least Netscape 4.5 doesn't.

Thanks, and sorry if I should have started this thread in .publish.

'+' to ' ' (space char?) ? Hmm. Hadn't thought that translation/filtering of
subject lines actually occurred. I thought that was just for URLs. But I guess
technically the whole line you typed is a URL. If I get the time to dig, I'll
try and find that.

If I find a list of that sort of thing, and it meets lugnet's terms, should I
post it for everyone's edification? Anyone already have one?

when replying, don't # the spamcake. (or else it'd be poundcake.)
