how to edit "mailto:" editable data?

Ok, new to this program.
Have editable data area in a .dwt file shown below.

<!-- #BeginEditable "mailto" -->
(mailto)

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=this page's name"
title="Contact Webauthor by Email"><strong>FEEDBACK</strong></a>
<!-- #EndEditable -->

I probably set this up almost right. I have different web authors managing
different folders on a site. I need them to get the feedback from their
pages. Some are real novices and are currently afraid of the code view so
making the editable part editable in the design view is optimal. Can it be
done or do they have to go into the code view to do it?

Thanks

Placing this code on a DWT will place an editable mailto: link on new
pages attached to the DWT. It may or may not place the link on existing
pages that are attached to the DWT.
Authors will be able to edit the link using the hyperlinks dialogues in
Design view, or using code view.

mailto links are often a spammers paradise - if you can use server side
scripting (asp, php, etc) it may be better to give each author a link to
a contact form page which will send email to the author based on the
pages that linked to the page, using the server referring page variable
to determine the author's email address.

I don't know what surrounds the <!-- #beginEditable ..... <!--
#EndEditable --> comments, but I would write the code as:
<!-- #BeginEditable "mailto" -->
<!--mailto-->
<p><a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=this page's name"
title="Contact author by Email"><strong>Feedback</strong></a></p>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
