context of the "project" they are working on. However the email being sent
may need to go to others not in the default list, or some on the list may
not need to see the email. Basically, the user get's to decide who the
email should go to.
Thanks for the input though.

Subject: Re: Mailto with an embedded form?
In order to get it parsed as HTML by the mail client, you need to pass
some extra headers, etc. I'm fairly certain this is not possible in
the context of a mailto. Besides, you're already pushing the mailto to
the point of failure.
However, in your (probably simplified) example, I can't see why the
user would need to access the address book, since [EMAIL PROTECTED] is
hardcoded anyway. Can you explain that requirement?
