Ok, we've all seen the tag to open a new mail message with a specified e-mail address ... what's the limitation to this? Simple, you can't modify the subject and body unless you make them a single string of text with no spaces. Javascript is your way around this limitation. Small code, simple to impliment and use.

This is a great script, however, not everyone uses outlook. If this is the only way for people to contact you via website, you will lose potential customers or contacts. I looked into doing this, but then went with a free form submition and manipulated it. Response-o-matic.com i think.
