On the bright side, mailto: hyperlinks containing extra-long domain names seem to be handled comparatively safely in both Netscape and Mosaic. (Perhaps they just have longer buffers ? ;) Neither Netscape nor Mosaic crashes on a mailto:// of the same length as a ftp:// or http:// that _would_ crash them. Netscape appears to do some sort of truncation at some point (silently); Mosaic gives you a standard "server is not accessible or is refusing to serve the document" warning page.
