8.7 Mailto URL

The Mailto URL allows mail to be sent do a designated target. The format for Mailto is straightforward: 
mailto:user@host
where user is the user name of the person you wish to mail to and host is the name of the machine.

The mailto URL is not supported by all WWW browsers, in particular experimental versions of Mosaic produces by NCSA. As far as I can tell, mailto's are supported by all commercial web browsers.
