I have many "topic pages" each one of which point to many seperate subsidary html pages ( can be hundreds). From each page the reader is invited to respond by email. Each "subsidary page" has the Topic page heading. I wish to know from which topic the email was generated.

1. The ham fisted way to do this is to use the FORM function "mailto" in each seperate html subsidary page Within the call to the mailto form how can I set the Email heading line to a specific value (such as my topic heading )?

2. A better approach would be to set up a "central common mailing page" . Each seperate subsidary html page would then call this page to allow the reader to send an email. Can I pass the Topic page heading as a parameter from one html page to another?

Are there any better solutions using only HTML?

. If so

For your first option all you need to do is use a get parameter in the mailto like:

"mailto:name@domain.com?subject=topic page heading"

For your second option above you can pass the topic page heading to the central mailing page similiarly. You would again pass the value of your heading via a 'get' parameter so your link might look something like:

<a href="centralmailingpage.htm?subject=topicpagehead ">email us</a>
