Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have installed the Perl scripts which enable the Chimera WWW browser to support the mailto protocol (and also postto, news, finger etc). These were obtained from ftp://isri.unlv.edu/pub/chimera/contrib. Unfortunately mailto does not quite work right. The problem seems to be that the generated mail message is malformed - the addressee and other fields are prefixed by a '+' character. Consequently, sendmail fails to deliver the message. I do not know the Perl language and I cannot tell if there is a way to fix the mailto.pl script. Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem? David May
