Note also that Netscape doesn't ever seem to deal with UUEncode'd
attachments, so its not really particular to _this_ 'bug'. I don't
think this is much of a worry, as, AFAIK, mailto links can't force
an email to be sent, they can only pop-up a mail window. In which
case it relies on the user to be stupid enough to click 'Send' on
a message that most likely smells funny.

Does *not* work with Netscape Communicator 4.75 German, instead of an
attachment I got this in the test email:

begin 666 x.vbs
