Hi ho,
I have heard about the "mailto" command. Can someone please explain
how I use it within my documents and if it is supported by all browsers?

THANKS again

Mailto is a URL scheme, identifying an Internet email address as a
resource. The URL is of the format

Not all browsers support the mailto scheme, but I believe that most
people use a browser that does.
Good luck.
