Several people say that they cannot click on an e-mail link on my 
webpage and get it to instigate an e-mail ready for sending.

Here is the code I use:

<a href="mailto:rogerarm@freeuk.com?subject=Submitted: Flower Photos 
for Contributions">
Submit Your Flower Photo Contributions
</a>

they turn out to be using gmail for e-mail.

Is gmail broken? Does it not understand HTML?

Is my HTML code out of date? (It works here with MessengerPro as 
e-mail client)

Should I complain to Google?
