No, there's not - and if you think redirecting from a mailto: was what you
were doing years ago, you're misremembering things, because that has *never*
worked.
Think about it - a redirect is an HTTP response from a web server. A mailto:
URL is simply handed off to the email client. How do you expect the browser
to get a response from a web server, when it never connects to one?
