That's simple to do, per se, but it requires integration with
with security/restrictions code, so I put it off. Here's an example,
A site may allow 'c'omments and equivalent use of mailto links
derived from actual documents, but not mailto as a 'g'oto URL, which
amounts to Lynx being a general envelop to the site's mailer. If
you allow editing of the address@hidden "guess", it need not be
to postmaster, etc., and you similarly are creating a general envelop
to the site's mailer. Also, if there indeed is neither a LINK REV="made"
nor WebMaster account at the site, nor a mailto Anchor in the document
for reporting problems, you're back to the situation of potentially
well-intentioned but counter-productive "unsolicited email" from the
recipient's perspective. A LINK REV="made", mailto Anchor, or
address@hidden account, all *do* imply solicitation of constructive
criticism.
