mailto code for (To: and Subject:)

could use a little help

[minnapple]

Need the proper mailto code that will fill out the "To:" and "Subject" fields.

Found one that worked for Netscape, but not for I.E. .

Thanks in advance.

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Subject%20String">

The complete spec for the mailto URL syntax is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) request for comment, RFC2368. The spec can be found at [ietf.org ], or a mirror at [rfc-editor.org ]. In that spec, you will find references to several other RFCs. You can find those by going to [ietf.org ] and entering the RFC number.

Thanks for the help!

Please note that, you must subsitute the code "%20" when you want a space to appear.

If you write "&subject=What you want", the code will break at the space. The e-mail you receive will have a subject of "What.

You must, rather, write:
a href="[e-mail]&subject=What%20you%20want"
