- This functionality was suggested by a colleague; it sounds good to me.
-
- We would like to publish our prospectus in HTML. At the back of the
- printed copies of the prospectus, ther are details of how to contact
- Cranfield by post or email for further information on particular courses.
-
- In the HTML version, it would be nice to have a URL like
-
- <a HREF="mailto:course-info@cranfield.ac.uk/Name: \nAddress: \nCourse:
- \nref: \n">Send an enquiry</a>
-
- This would have the effect that when the anchor is activated, clients
- display a window (initialised with the optional text following the "/".
- When finished, the user confirms the contents, and the client sends a
- mail message to the address shown.
-
- This URL equates to a paper reply-paid card; it is an invitation to
- reply automatically with no hassle or need to use local resources. A
- more general form of this URL might well include telnet or any other
- remote service which requires may need initial information. If
- variables can be used, then one could include the sender's details in
- the initial text.
-
- It occurs to me that code already exists to do this in Xmosaic, as
- Whine (or Mail Developers as it is now). If you fancy adding a new URL
- type that kicks off the whine code, Marc, that would be a very nice demo.
