... JeevesBond is right. There is also the difficulty people face when using a computer at work, the library, or any computer not their own -- the email client may well be de-activated, so clicking the link will likely give an error of some sort.

Unless you are into server-side form processing, I suggest you take a look at the Wufoo form builder. Should take you about an hour, tops, to build a contact form you can put on your own page, or have Wufoo host it.

The form is coded nicely, and has anti-spam measures built in.

`<a href="mailto:username@gmail.com?subject='the subject and the body'&body='test'">wibble</a>`
mailto isn't that great though, it's better to use a contact form in PHP. That's a lot more difficult of course. Biggest problem with mailto is that you'll problem get spam.

mailto:email@example.com?body
