Does any one know how you can you the mailto: action to email form contents with IE5? I know it works for netscape, but everything I've read indicates that it won't work in IE.
Thanks

<input name=&quot;BCC_ADDR&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>

mailto: works fine in IE, as long as there is a default mail client set up in tools/programs.

Its one of the few tags the big boys agree on. Dean Owen
