[thelist] a mailto: tag with standard text in actual e-mail message

[Karen Bowen]

Using mailto: to format a whole email is not recommended, as its
implementation is different in the various browsers, so you cannot guarantee
everyone will see what you want.  You're far, far better off to format your
email using a server-side script, if you can.

Also, as far as I know, you definitely can't facilitate the sending of an
attachment via a mailto: link, so if that's what you're trying to do, you'll
definitely want to look at a server-side processing script for this.

message


To create a subject line in a mailto: tag, all you
have to do is throw a ?subject= into your code, right?
But how do you include some standard text in the actual e-mail message?
e.g.:
If peoples send attachments (by using the link) you want them to include
particular inf -- I want to ask users these questions in the e-mail message.
Somebody has as idea? pls advice
