What? You want to run javascript and unreliable things like mailto (which
only launghes an email client anyway, when it works) on an unspecified email
client? Well, it's not going to happen.

Stop wanting this?

Cheers

Gee thanks Richard. Downright unfriendly you are. Just like the folks
where I came from. Now I know why I left there.

I am quite aware that VERY MANY things do't work on ALL systems but I
doubt very seriously that MAILTO: wouldn't work on almost every system
since it is the direct method of sending something out to an SMPT
server as much as http:// is the way to send something out directly to a
TCP/IP server.

Besides, I DIDN'T SAY I wanted to use either MAILTO: or Javascript. I
was asking for a suggestion as to how to do what I wanted to do.

Boy, I'm sorry I ruined your day guy.

If you are going to be so openly critical make sure you know what you
are talking about.

Sheesh, if there is anything worse than arrogance it is uninformed
arrogance.

Dan, not ALL persons will be assholes. Not all of them will think that they
are god's gift to the newsgroups. Not all of them will crap all over you if
you phrase your post wrong or post in a way that doesn't meet THEIR
criteria. There are actually some nice people out there & on this forum.
Hope you get better luck with the next responder ;of)

What's this? Who's Richard? Please quote text so I have an idea about
what you are talking about. Which I do because I'm viewing this
newsgroup threaded in Xnews, but not everybody has that priviledge.

You thought he was being unfriendly, but he was not.

> Boy, I'm sorry I ruined your day guy.

You are misreading the inflexions of his typing.

Make sure you know what you are talking about. Because you're talking
about a person who you have judged based on one Usenet posting of his.

It is not uninformed arrogance. By the way, you're arrogantly calling
him arrogant and uninformed, which shows that _you're_ exhibiting
uninformed arrogance! (But then, you see, now I'm doing the same to
you!) ;-)
