We wanted a mechanism, with those “a” link “mailto:” emailing arrangements, of not having to fill out the email address in the “To:” field each time. First world problem alert! Still and all … When it comes to procedures … Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh … Nuances count … regarding … Errrrrrr … Saving time … Saving frustration … resulting in the “easy to remember” acronym WANESS … we rest our cases! What can help here? Well, it is a personalization … so … anyone, anyone?

We agree, Web Storage window.localStorage allows for more data, so we’ll go with that, though either style of approach would work here.
