I want to propose recycling 'mailto' to "Proposed Standard" and suggest extending it to include mail headers. Some browsers do (some of) this anyway, and it's a generally needed functionality. We were going to make it 'mailserver' for a while, which flopped because there's really no need for another URL scheme. ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/masinter/draft-hoffman-url-mailto.txt It's looking more and more like there SHOULD be a URL working group (re)constituted, but we'll need a chair, a charter, milestones, etc. Also, volunteer to take minutes at our (very short, 30 minute) BOF.
