You shouldn't, and it IS too much a bother to pester every webmaster or 
designer whose shoddy products one comes across. I've only done it a few 
times.

But, since I'm in the learning-HTML process, I'd like to do it more often. 
And I'd like to get feedback about my page's errors and problems*.

IDEA FOR PROGRAM ... An emailer with template letters that allows drag-and-
drop like this:

When you come across a terribly written page, or a page that does not work 
properly in Opera, or iCab, or Netscape, or some other fairly well-designed 
browser, you simply drag an icon onto the Web page, and the emailers finds 
the webmaster address (or all mail-to's in the page, or on the site, 
providing a pop-up window so you can easily select which one), and hey! 
presto - you can fire off an apt complaint letter in seconds. 

It should be EASY to mail the designer of any page; after all, most do have 
the webmaster's, owner's or designer's email address embedded somehwere in 
the HTML doc! The actual program might even be simple to write, perhaps as 
an add-on to some other existing email program. 

(Of course, I'm using Musashi, and it would be nice to have all sorts of 
add-on functions to this program...)

Does any email program currently allow you to drag its icon/alias onto a 
page and send a letter off to the mailto's on that page??? (Perhaps my 
suggestion is nothing new.)


* I use a Mac and NEVER a PC, so I am often surprised at how bad my pages 
look on a PC. It's my experience that Explorer for Mac makes better-looking 
pages than the PC version, if scripted close to HTML 4.0. This is saddening 
and perplexing, actually....
