I have made some more testing.

I have found that the problem arises only when there is an error sending
the mail to a LOCAL USER.

I think that in this case sendmail immediatly return an error. That
error is sent to both the sender mailbox and the httpd mailbox!

BTW, I think that in this case, simply writing "there was an error" in
the title bar of the compose window is not enought...
Is it possible to show the user THE ACTUAL error message, so the user
can understand the error and correct it? Perhaps in a box at the head of
the compose message?

Bye,

Yeah, I agree - IE5 on Win98 SE2 did complain about it.

I'm not sure this applies to URL's constructed via javascript
though?  The entities aren't for the js, but for what is being
passed onto the browser.  Hmm, bit of a no-win situation if different
browsers break with the entity change :-/
