I agree with Wayne. Since you are already using AppleScript, then using
globals and properties in your AppleScripts will provide the flexibility
needed without yielding to the limitations of the mailto method.
Personally, I use properties extensively, but very rarely use global
variables. I pass local variables through calls to subroutines/handlers
from one application to another.
