I couldn't agree with you more Ming-Li... and that is why TB! shouldn't
even try. It should simply adopt the standards as laid out in RFC 2368
which clearly defines a MailTo link:

"The mailto URL scheme is used to designate the Internet mailing address
of an individual or service. In its simplest form, a mailto URL contains
an Internet mail address."  ...RFC 2368

It requires no further addressing on the part of the MUA, and it would be
presumptuous to do otherwise. The MUA should simply create the message to
the *designated* address, and allow the User to edit the message, send
this message unedited, or choose not to send the message.  :o)
