your base URL is gonna be b'mailto:stephen at xemacs.org', but the natural thing the UI will want to do is

formurl = baseurl + '?subject=うるさいやつだなぁ…' Incidentally, which irritating person was the topic of this Japanese-language message to you? (The subject in Stephen's example message translates roughly as “(unspecified third person) is an irritating rascal, don't you agree”.)

Given what he said about the base URL, it would appear to be a self-deprecating self-description. Nicely done :)

(I can pronounce that subject line, but I didn't know what it meant without the translation).

Cheers, Nick.
