Note also that if you revise Mailto:, the ADs will want to have answered
the questions that were raised on Mailserver:, including:

- How to ensure a proper From: address
  (this is about THE most common question from mail admins these days;
  the keyword is Netscape 2.0)
- How to (request to) apply signature functions to the message
- How to make sure the user is aware of what he is doing
  (or is getting done in his name)

See http://domen.uninett.no/~hta/ietf/http-traps.html for some
examples of how to get mail sent from unsuspecting clients.
