[thelist] Dear fellows: Be carefull in your job, very carefull

[derick]

Hi,

To agree with Richard (and everyone else) and expand further, what about
customers that used email clients such as AOL? 

Did the company take into account that users of such software are often
novice internet users at best and would not understand why Outlook Express
continued to open whenever they clicked on the mailto?

Potential business is lost with mailto links regardless of whether or not
the address was correct, at least in my opinion.

Regards,

derick

If people cannot get in touch with you - they will nearly always give
up though. It is fair to assume it would cause /some/ problems.

On the plus side - screwing up the mailto link at least means the OP
has avoided causing them to get spam-bot harvested for the past 2 years ;)

Best regards,
