I don't have netscape 3.0 around here, but in 2.0 (for unix)
apparently you can have only 1 header. The above URL gives me a "CC"
value of "support@aventail.com?subject=dork" and no subject.
Also it doesn't seem to allow arbitrary header names.
Yuck, I just noticed that I when I send mail with netscape I get an
"X-URL" header pointing to the page I was on when I opened the mail
window. I guess I better be careful not to send messages to my boss
from netscape when I'm right in the middle of browsing playboy.com. I
thought "X-URL" was supposed to be for *my* URL!?! Guess not. I
guess this is so you can tell if someone clicked on your page's mail
button to send you mail.
