if you want to prefill the subject and put someting in the body of the mail then try this

on(press){  
getURL("mailto:whoever@whereever.com &subject=this will be the subject &body=this will be the body of the mail",\_blank)  
}

you can also copy it to a different addy using [copyto:another.email@anotherisp.com](mailto:copyto:another.email@anotherisp.com) (but i cant remember just where it goes…lol try it just after the first addy and b4 the &

hope this was helpful
