NetSurf works as expected if you type a mailto: into the URL bar so it
not working from an indirect script seems odd, doesn't it?

Curious, I have just thrown together a PHP script here using those same
forms and a method which works in Chrome using header() and it too fails
with NetSurf. I found other postings with similar problems and one
suggested using the Javascript alternative to header() which works in
Chrome, but guess what NetSurf makes of that!! It works if Javascript is
enabled!!! Inform the gentlemen of the press!!!!
