True -- however, the 'trigger' e-mail that I receive in this fashion is
very formatted, and shouldn't contain anything other than the e-mail
address. I will need to look into a long-term solution, but this kluge
at least gets me started with avoiding needless bounces and mis-pitched
mail. I know that there's a way to strip out certain special characters
using sed, but it's been a long time since I've used it and will need to
review the lingo before trying it.

Ross,
Thanks -- you gave me all the information I needed. Here's what I
went
with (I left out the [^ ] because there's no white space in
between the mailto: and the address. Instead, I used .*, because
there should be nothing else after the mailto: except for the e-mail
address:
this will break as son as you get something like this:
Buyer: <mailto:Fred(_at_)company(_dot_)com>
or, say Fred has requested than any mail about your toner sales be sent
with the subject "TONER SALES" then your mailto might look like this:
Buyer: <mailto:fred(_at_)company(_dot_)com?Subject=TONER%20SALES>
I would try to deal with at least the FIRST example above, since that
sort of mailto is quite common
