Easily accomplished. :) The problem with using gnus posting styles for Emacs/W3 mailto: URLs is that not everybody clicks those links from within Gnus. Emacs/W3 uses _message_, not Gnus for sending the mail. There might be a case for having w3 allow customization of posting styles based on email address or the URL the link is on, something like that. -bp
