<abstract>
<t>
   This document defines the format of Uniform Resource Locators (URL)
   for designating electronic mail addresses. It is one of a suite of
   documents which replace RFC 1738, &apos;Uniform Resource Locators&apos;, and
   RFC 1808, &apos;Relative Uniform Resource Locators&apos;. The syntax of
   &apos;mailto&apos; URLs from RFC 1738 is extended to allow creation of more RFC
   822 messages by allowing the URL to express additional header and
   body fields.
