RE: Interpolating subject in 'mailto' links

[Geremy Cohen <gcohen@Resonate.com>]

Hi Moofie-

I have had success with this:

<SubjectHeader>
<H2>

<a href="mailto:messages@site.com?subject=Re:
$SUBJECTNA$&body=%0D%0A%0D%0AIn response to message: 

http://list.site.com/$MSG(CUR)$ - $SUBJECTNA$">Post a Reply to this
Thread</a></H2>
<BR>
</SubjectHeader>


This also populates the subject field of the outgoing message utilizing a
mailto: URL.

hope that helps,
geremy
