[WEB4LIB] Mailto vs. forms

[Thomas Bennett]

I use html mailto forms on our site because the public workstations do not
offer an email client here.  These forms use the builtin mailhost object
I've defined on my Zope Server.

I'm noticing more sites now are using email forms on their sites for contact
information. Is is now "best practice" to eschew mailto links? [I'd say so,
given the popularity of web-based email services, which can't use mailto
links.]
