In general I recommend the use of mailto over suggestion due to mailto's
increased flexibility/configurability and how incorrectly addressed mail is
handled (bounces). One downside to mailto is that some browsers (such as
MacWeb and older versions of Mosaic) do not
support the function, however, this is becoming less common.
