In my Wildflowerfinder website I have put the following line for 
readers who wish to contact me:

<a href="mailto:rogerarm@freeuk.com?subject=Submitted%3A%20Unknown%20W 
ildflower%20Photograph&body=Where%20Found:%0A%0DDate%20Found:%20%0A">

It works perfectly on RO4. and other RO OS's.

But sometimes doesn't using on Firefox on a Windows7 computer (but 
only sort of..) On Windows 7 Firefox it gives a choice of   4 e-mail 
programs:

Windows Live Mail
Yahoo Mail
Yahoo Mail
Google Mail

I don't use any of those myself, but I clicked on Windows Live Mail
and that did automatically insert rogerarm@freeuk.com into the Send-To 
box. HURRAY!

I then selected Google Mail instead and that brought up Gmail but 
didn't fill the Send-To box in with anything!  [I'm not actually 
registered with Google or Gmail, so maybe that makes a difference, but 
I doubt it. A reader of my website allerted mw=e to the fact that it 
didn't work with Gmail on his computer, and he is presumably 
registered with both Google and Gmail]

Have Google written their Gmail thing correctly?

Or maybe I haven't written my code correctly?

How do I make it work for whatever e-mail client folk are using?

Does the code need to be 3 pages long to work?

Never use just one cooking pot when you can make do with all of them
