MailToURL Resources as link/cgi anywhere on the page

[wilhelm.alm@t-online.de (Wilhelm Alm)]

I want to give the reader at the bottom of the page a link to respond to
that message.
Inserting the Resources MAILTO and MailToURL I get no response.
</BOTLINKS>
<MAILTO>
<MailToURL>
<a href="mailto:$TO$?msgid=$MSGID$&subject=$SUBJECTNA$";>respond to this
article ...</a>
</MailToURL>
<MSGFOOT>

As a second step, I would like to to use a cgi script to POST
addressfragments available by the MailToURL resource.
<MailToURL>
URL-template
<MSGFOOT>
I build the form to call the cgi in <MSGFOOT>, but then the functionality of
<MailToURL> is not active.

Can I use <MailToURL> anywhere in the HTML page?
How canI define my own "URL-template"?
Thanks a lot, Wilhelm
