I'd like to second this thought about subjects in mailto URLs.
I run a number of mailing lists using Procmail/Smartmail and it would
be really useful to be able to add "subscribe" and "unsubscribe"
buttons to a HyperMail archive page for these lists.
Could the QUERY_STRING be used in mailto such that the url would
look something like:
mailto:list-request@machine.com?subscribe
