You're thinking of RFC2368, which defines mailto: URLs. RFC2369 discusses the use of URLs by mailing list software to add mailto: links to list services (help, subscribe, unsubscribe etc), but is not related to RFC1738 except insofar as it refers to it. Now stop spewing s**t on the list and go read RFC1738. BTW, it's spelled 'superseded'.
