RFC 6068, "The 'mailto' URI Scheme" says "Only a limited set of header fields such as Subject and Keywords, as well as Body, are believed to be both safe and useful in the general case." I've tested with Firefox as browser and Thunderbird as mail client. The content type header in the message as delivered is "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed" regardless of my attempts to specify a multi-part content type in the URI. Patricia
