If you click on the Email link towards the bottom, which is coded as such:

<A HREF="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Accommodation enquiry via

Then a "Compose" mail window comes up, with NO subject line and
an email address set to:

1. Click on the email link
2. Observe the info (the "to:" address and "subject:" line Mozilla has
incorrectly filled in

Actual Results:  
The mail composition window comes up with incorrect info filled in

Expected Results:

and subject line to "Accommodation enquiry via Travel Victoria Accommodation Guide"
