When you click a Mailto link on a Web page, a new message may appear
in your mail client with the address filled in, but nothing in the body
of the message.
The Web page uses a MAILTO HTML command as part of a FORMS reference.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 does not support the MAILTO command as
part of a FORMS reference at this time.
An example of such an HTML tag might be:
<FORM enctype="multipart/form-data" action="mailto:user@site.com"
method="POST">
Other browsers may support this function, but such browsers usually have
a built-in mail system. Internet Explorer 3.0 is an open system that
allows any mail client to be used for Internet mail functions. Because
there is no way to determine which mail client will be used, Internet
Explorer does not know how to post this information to the mail message.
