Comes up a lot each week, on each of the lists, but searching the

Macromedia Flash Technotes with keyword "email" brings up a full article.


Although there are many screengrabs in the article, the most important

advice is in the very first paragraph: NOT ALL BROWSERS OFFER THIS. Despite

the length of those instructions, I'd really recommend bailing on "mailto:"

techniques if you need it to work, and instead to POST a message to a

server-based emailer instead.


(If this is instead just a casual use, where it doesn't matter if it works

or not, then sure, try a "mailto:" pseudo-URL.)
