I work soly on Macs and the "mail to" works just fine. It has to do with defining, by the user, what mail program to open. Since those community computers don't have a definedm ail program (and some home users may not have it defined either), the computer can't open the mailto: I just checked your site and the mailto works just fine (pulls up my e-mail program) on my Mac, OS 9x, so no worry. I agree that it might be nice to have the mailto: link actually the e-mail address for anyone who has to cut and past. But don is right, I get tons of , uh..., distasteful e-mail because all of my "if you have comments" links on my home page are also my e-mail. Jennifer
