Just a little note... not to be a total downer... but the mailto: link will only work if someone has an email client installed on their machine (program like Outlook or Outlook express etc) or has their email logged in and open on some web clients. Otherwise when they click the link they don't get the intended results. Say for example on public computers or at our offices we have shared lab computers that do not have mail clients installed. Just thought you may want to be aware that it doesn't necessarily work on every computer. It will certainly work on a lot, but there will be exceptions.

Angie,

Not at all, i think it's definitely a point everyone should be aware of, also one must consider that all non-mac computers have outlook or outlook express or in i.e. 7 windows mail set up as their default e-mail client. Most users don't know how to change this. Furthermore it also opens up g-mail accounts depending on the browser such as firefox browser.

I would say considering the statistics, it would work on the majority of internet users and would consider it worth while to go ahead and do it..

Thank's Angie,
