To be more specific, Netscape 3.0, under "Options... Network Preferences...
Protocols... There is a checkbox that says "Show alert before submitting a
form by email". If checked, it will put up a dialog box if a mailto: URL is
being submitted, asking the user to confirm or cancel. This checkbox is
checked by default, but can be unchecked. Perhaps the person who started
this thread had unchecked it.
