A user pointed out that some versions of IE (6?) do not allow the subject to be set in the 'mailto:'.

This throws a wrench in many sympa messages, not the least of which is the all important subscription confirmation message:

If you want this action to be taken, please
- reply to this mail
OR
- send a message to sympa@domain with subject ...
OR
- hit the following mailto
mailto:sympa@domain?subject=auth%...

Since I don't use windows, I have not ever noticed this or been able to confirm it. Have other people seen this behavior? Perhaps the mailto link should be removed, include a warning about IE, or replaced with a http url.
