I was wondering if the mailto URL could be adapted to support this.
If the mailto link could specify the email headers to use, then the
email could be processed automatically, based on these headers, and
slotted into the hypertext of the discussion.

If this can't be done now, then at least it could go into the HTML 3
specification. What do people think?
