It is not a browser-only thing. Don't confuse it with "mailto:" URLs
embedded in Web pages. I've been using it with servlets in the meantime
between jdk1.1 and Javamail availability. Now I use Javamail.

A slightly modified cut & paste from a very simple convenience method I
have:
try
{
URL u = new URL("mailto:"+ to_address);
URLConnection c = u.openConnection();
c.setDoInput(false);
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(
new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(c.getOutputStream())));
out.println(this.toString());
out.println();
out.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
// Your exception handling here...
}
where "this.toString()" essentially contains something like:
return new StringBuffer()
.append("From: ")
.append(from_address)
.append("\n")
.append("To: ")
.append(to_address)
.append("\n")
.append("Subject: ")
.append(subject)
.append("\n")
.append(body)
.toString();
This isn't my exact code as I have omitted a hack to send messages to
multiple recipients, but otherwise the above code has run reliably to
me.
