Somewhere on every HTML page - (or frame)  - it would be very helpful if 
there was 
a way in doxygen to insert a "mailto" type HTML tag that identified the 
page.

I mean *EVERY* page.

Purpose:

I need to publish some documentation for a large library.

I'd like to have some type of "feed back" link added to the page
that would help me make better documentation.

I'm sure you've seen this type of stuff @ microsoft msdn documentation
pages, and things like that - "Was this page helpful Y/N - Please comment"

What I don't have - is an HTTP server the link can point to.

Thus - I think a "MAILTO" link would work best.

BUT - what I need is the "refering page" so I can find the thing
they want to tell me about.

For example, I'd like to see in the users mail client is something like 
this:

        To:     [email protected]
        Subj:   ${STRING}  ${PAGE} 

In my case, 

${STRING} is some thing set in the DOXYGEN config file
        and identifies/helps-with:
                Sorting EMAIL (procmail-rules)
                the release number or date
                the development system
                the module within the development system

The "${PAGE}" some page specific thing - a number, string or filename.

So the person updating/fixing the docs - can easily find what they are 
looking for.
