Jonathan- The quotes *aren't* passed on to TB, it's true. But look at the second url on the web page - it's formatted correctly with %20 in between the words instead of spaces. TB does pick up the entire string. It just doesn't handle the %20s properly.
Try this: right-click on the "hi" url and copy it to the clipboard. Now create a new shortcut on your desktop and paste it in. It should show up with a Bat icon. Double-click on the shortcut. There you'll see the entire message in the subject line. So TB does handle the mailto: urls in the proper manner sometimes - it seems that it's just the web-page-to-mail handler that is broken. Now...right-click on each of the urls on the web page and paste them into a text editor - you get the entire text between the quotes, well-formed or not. So, whether it's a good idea or not, the technical feat of grabbing the whole text of the url from quote to quote isn't much of a chore. -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
