You can construct the mailto: link so that it it adds the username into the subject of the email, how about that?
And how would it know what the username is if the person isn't logged in (because they forgot their password)?

It's a real burden being right so often.

OK I was being dumb. It's early here yet.
Here's a note on the "S" tag, in case anybody's interested:
The S element, deprecated in HTML 4.0, suggests that text be rendered with a strike-through style. In many cases, use of a phrase element such as DEL is more appropriate since such elements express the meaning of the text more clearly. However, since support for DEL among browsers is weak, S could be useful in combination with DEL, as in the following example:
The latest version of HTML recommended by the W3C is HTML <DEL DATETIME="1997-12-19T00:00:00-05:00"><S>3.2</S></DEL> <INS DATETIME="1997-12-19T00:00:00-05:00">4.0</INS>.
Note that STRIKE is better supported than S (based on Netscape 2.x and 1.22 supporting STRIKE but not S), and so STRIKE should be used in place of S. There does not appear to be any advantage to using both STRIKE and S; all browsers that support S also seem to support STRIKE.
From [link] -- very useful site.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Quote issue -- I just got this:
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!'
Oz, ''
Should we be doing something different with this kind of thing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You mean the extra quote? Or the two blanks for the ep name? Because I deleted the quote mark, but I can't see why there'd be no ep name.
Oh, nix that. It had an episode number, a season number, but no show name. Finis!

OK, this is weird. I read the two posts above and thought to myself, "Self? When am I going to see that quote?" But then I looked up and there it was in its special little corner of the board.

That is indeed weird.
You don't call yourself Jon?

Strangely, I call Jon "Self" as well.

And then there's Money by Martin Amis, in which the main character is called "John Self". And one of the other characters is called Martin Amis.
