mailto:
Recent Netsurf seems to have a problem with indirect mailto: urls. e.g http://www.burwellness.co.uk/index.html In the body there are two email buttons. These call a cgi program which (if the calling button has sent a correct CheckVar) returns the relevant URL in the form mailto:rich...@torrens.org It is this indirect URL which now does not work. It's an anti-spam system I have used for years and I have only recenly noticed it failing. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

Curious, I have just thrown together a PHP script here using those same forms and a method which works in Chrome using header() and it too fails with NetSurf. I found other postings with similar problems and one suggested using the Javascript alternative to header() which works in Chrome, but guess what NetSurf makes of that!! It works if Javascript is enabled!!!
