It was

	mailto:user@host.dom.ain

or more specifically

	m a i l t o : internetformatofanymailaddressalarfc822

Anyone see any problems with that?

Note: smart browers could use the SMTP "VRFY" function to get
some info corresponding to that mail address when the host`actually exists.

I'll try to remember to bring it up at the URI BOFs today at the IETF.
