Thanks for the explanation. My departure probably not permanent but we are off to Invercargill for the National Vintage Motor Cycle Rally followed by the After-Rally Tour, then there's the Richard Pearse Centenial Celebrations at Timaru and Waitohi with the Easter Rally on the Coast not long after, followed immediately by a trip to the UK. Averaging between 80 and 100 e-mails a day I thought it best to cut back on the largest subscribers to my inbox. Actually I've made little progress with Linux, mainly because as a PC USER there don't appear to be any suitable programmes to satisfy my requirements, plus a concentration by CLUG on PC PLAYING (as opposed to USING). Hopefully I can get back from Waitohi in time for Jason's presentation which might provide a spur again. Nick R. said - >Its not an address Peter, its a url. The standard which prescribes the mailto: url link has been extended in non standard ways by a number of people. I believe that the?body= extension is NOT part of the standard, and therefore may not be interpreted consistently by all mail clients. Well, that's a new one on me; having to enter a url in a browser (Netscape) in order to open an outgoing mail in my mailer (Eudora)! Peter.
