Sure, but it depends on the email client. Outlook Express accepts at least: mailto:me at myaddress.com?subject=blahbhah&message=Hi%20There!%blah%20blah and mailto:me at myaddress.com?subject=blahbhah&body=Hi%20There!%blah%20blah Note that you must URL encode the spaces, symbols etc. -- Rob Keniger big bang solutions <mailto:rob at bigbang.net.au> <http://www.bigbang.net.au>
