This would be very nice. Along those same lines, the Lynx stuff from the
University of Kansas has the interesting concept of file "ownership". A special
tag gives the email address of the owner of the file, and the hypertext
browsers allow you to send them mail. This is really a subset of the idea
proposed above, but it might be useful to have that concept of ownership
without any explicit reference in the text.

Couldn't the various browsers just use the existing mail delivery mechanisms
and programs?
