The mailto trick works in html as well. You can see it in
action on one of my pages,

You cannot add headers to *somebody else's* mail. All you
can do is add a small abbreviation in the subject or body of
the mail that you prepare in the html code, such as
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=Blah&Body=pagename";>here</a>
where you change the page name as you deem appropriate.
