Details

I have a web page with a form on it that uses 'mailto' to send form field data
to its destination. (<form method="post" action="mailto:recipient@url.com"
enctype="text/plain">)
The mechanism works with Explorer/Outlook Express, but Mozilla simply pops up
the mail window with a blank message body. This means Mozilla users would be
unable to submit the form data to the recipient.
Alan: what build of mozilla are you using?  the code for mailto: form submission
was only checked in a week or so ago (bug 61893), so if you're not using 1.1beta
or something more recent, what you describe is to be expected.

if you're using a new build, then can you provide a URL or testfile which isn't
working for you?
Alan emailed me:

resolving as WFM - mailto: forms weren't supported until after 1.1a.  the latest
version should work ok.
