Joe-

Not to put too fine a point on it, but its not about what "you" want, but
rather what works best for your users. Creating links that open in new
browser windows is potentially confusing to sight-impaired users (and in my
experience, just plain users) and negates their back button functionality.
Frankly, the choice of whether or not to open a link in a new window or not
should be left to the end user.

Probably it is complaining about the Ampersand. You should encode that like
&amp; instead of &. So your href would then be:

 href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&amp;subject=The Indigo
Connection Website"

That should validate just fine.
