Specifying headers in the mailto URL is not standardized up to now.
Nevertheless you can do it with netscape and it's build in mail tool with:
<URL:mailto:ach(_at_)mpe-garching(_dot_)mpg(_dot_)de?subject=It+works&cc=sanna(_at_)wco(_dot_)com>
To get something like above, define the MAILTOURL resource as
follows:
<mailtourl>
mailto:$FROMADDR$?subject=$SUBJECT$
</mailtourl>
Note: you cannot get the CC address.
Since there is no standard way to specify subject and other fields
in the mailto URL, you may need to rely on a HTML form that
is dynamically generated by a CGI program. Example:
<mailtourl>
http://my.org/cgi-bin/mailform.cgi?from=$FROMADDR$;subject=$SUBJECT$
</mailtourl>
The CGI program would create a form with the appropriate fields
defined based on the arguments passed to it.
