...
Notice that all system support (or properly support) mailto protocol
Unless, of course, the user isn't on their own computer (school,
library, internet cafe). Or the user doesn't have a default mail client
(they use Netscape browser with Outlook mail and didn't set it up, or
they just don't use Outlook, they use a web based mail). Or the user
prefers to use their web address, such as yahoo. Or the user uses Unix
with a windows emulator and Exchange to download their mail to a text
file so they can use pine or mailx...
I can think of 5 people I know off the top of my head who don't use a
default mail client. I can think of ~120 at my work who use Unix pine.
I could come up with lots more reasons why mailto is really, really bad.
