If you want your email clicky to be dead clever, try this:

"mailto:email@whoever.co.uk ?subject=This puts a default into the subject box!" title="This gives you a little pop-up box, too!">Click here, etc...

If in doubt, go to my website and save the page, then look at how I've done it there. We all learn best by pinching other people's ideas and playing with them!

I use Notepad, too. It doesn't change things when it thinks you aren't looking! To save a little messing, I set up a shortcut to the file I'm editing which has:

C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE (filename).html

as its 'Target', and

C:\(folder name)

as its 'Start in'...

Leave out the brackets, and insert the correct filename and folder name, of course...!!

If the file doesn't already exist, it will create it for you... as long as the folder exists.

Remember that all filenames and extensions should be in lowercase - your FTP utility should shout at you if you forget, if it's any good!
