Take a look at our DirectEmail Xtra at
http://www.directxtras.com
By using mailto:
1. There is no guarantee that the e-mail will be sent.
2. You have no control over the e-mail being sent.
3. There is no guarantee that the mail client is working and configured.
4. You are relaying on another software.
While using DirectEmail Xtra you will avoid the above disadvantages of
using the goToNetPage/mailto: Lingo method.

Feel free to contact me, off the list, for any further information
regarding DirectEmail Xtra.
