Hi everyone!
I've got another off the wall question, and with no hope
of finding the answer anywhere else on the web, once again
I turn to my fellow news groupers.

I am trying to devise a way to improve my contact
information. I am familiar with the html linking to have
an email address, and have it set up so as to where some
one can see your email address, (usually highlighted in
blue) as a hyperlink, (<A
href="mailto:righ...@hotmail.com">righ...@hotmail.com</A>
)and once they click on it, it takes you to good old
outlook, with the email address already in the field.

I guess what my question is, is this, is there a way to
have the subject field, and possibly the users name pre-
inserted as well?

is there a syntax that can have me click, and go into
Outlook, with the email address, subject, and name ALREADY
filled in the appropriate places?

Does this even make sense? PLEASE help me !!!!

Thanks in advance,

- Mike

For the To and subject field;
"mailto:us...@domain.com?subject=subject line"

What do you mean by the name?

Roady, that should be mailto:us...@domain.com?subject=subject%20line. Blanks
aren't allowed in URLs.

Brian.Tillman is the name, smiths-aerospace.com is the domain.

I don't speak for Smiths, and Smiths doesn't speak for me.
