First the Body portion only works correctly in MSIE.

In Netscape it dumps ' Website Feedback?Body=What is your name and

address?' all on the Subject line.


To get a Question mark or capital letters in the Subject or Body for

MSIE you need to use URL delimiting. To delimit in a URL use the percent

character (%) followed by the ASCII code in a 2 digit hexidecimal

format. A Question mark is ASCII 63 which is 3F in Hex (3x16 + 15).  I

also delimited the capital W's (%57) so they should appear as capitals

in all mail programs.


<a href="

someonesomewhere [dot] com (Subject: ) (mailto:someonesomewhere [dot] com?Subject=)

 %57ebsite

Feedback?Body=%57hat is your name and address%3F">Hello</A>
