[Hidden-tech] How do I ensure a specific subject line on return email without mailto?

I would suggest using a web form which generates an e-mail on the back 
end, rather than using the user's e-mail client.

Hi, folks,

In the old days, I would have constructed a mailto link like

mailto:shel at greenandprofitable.com?subject=Assessment_Demo_Shel_Sent_Me


But when I tried that and ran into a glitch, I Googled and found that
mailtos are no longer considered a good idea:
https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/knowledge-base/how-do-you-add-a-subject-to-a-mailto/

My goal is to set filter responses to an offer so they automatically
forward to someone else. I know from experience that a large
percentage will ignore a request to use a specific subject line. I
also know that I will miss some inbound so forwarding manually is not
the best option.

It did occur to me that I could instead provide a click to a Google
doc, but I don't know how to that while protecting the respondents'
privacy--I don't want other people harvesting their addresses.

Would love your ideas!
