simplifying mailto

In form entry code, the "POST action=mailto:x x*@xxx.xxx" command requests a
Subject and a CC heading from the reader -- in lynx that is, I haven't
checked other browsers. Even with the -s & -c fields included, the reader
is questioned.

The object is to hide these two fields from the reader to avoid confusion or
destination error. Can anyone suggest how?

Forms that use action="mailto: ..." are unreliable on the WWW.

Can someone tell me if I am misinterpreting the spec? Specifically, section 2.4 of RFC 2396 <file://localhost/d:/tech/internet/rfc2396.htm> defines "escaped" characters using the %xx notation (percent sign and two hex digits). Section 2.4.2 of the spec says that "%" "always has the reserved purpose of being the escape indicator". But when I replace the "i" in a mailto: with %6c, neither Mozilla 1.4 nor MSIE 4 recognizes it as a mailto...

Any experts on mailto: tags? I want to set a link so that the subject and some of the body of the email is filled in. This is easy for simple text, although you need to use %20 for spaces: <a href="mailto:nobody@nowhere.com ?subject=Your web site &body=This%20is%20the%20%body!"> click here</a>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
