No need for that, if the code is decently formatted :
[color=blue]
><body>
><script>docume nt.write("<font size='+1', font face='Times New Roman'>" +
>"<a href='mailto:"+ myaddress+"?sub ject=Web Mail'" + " class=textlink
>style=color:bl ack;>"+myaddres s+"</a>");</script>
></body>[/color]

<body>
<script>
document.write( "<font size='+1', font face='Times New Roman'>",
"<a href='mailto:", myaddress, "?subject=W eb Mail'",
" class=textlink style=color:bla ck;>", myaddress, "</a>");
</script>
</body>

I've not compared the speeds of
document.write( a + b)
document.write( a, b)
but the latter looks easier.

a = "some text";
b = " some more text<br />";
var start1 = new Date();
for (i=0;i<1000;i++ ){
document.write (a+b)
}
var end1 = new Date();
var time1 = end1 - start1;
var start2 = new Date();
for (i=0;i<1000;i++ ){
document.write (a,b)
}
var end2 = new Date();
var time2 = end2 - start2;

document.write( 'a+b took ' + time1 + ' milliseconds<br />');
document.write( 'a,b took ' + time2 + ' milliseconds<br />');

IE6:
a+b took 60 milliseconds
a,b took 50 milliseconds

Mozilla 1.6:
a+b took 390 milliseconds
a,b took 600 milliseconds

Opera 7:
a+b took 160 milliseconds
a,b took 110 milliseconds

Mozilla Firefox:
a+b took 320 milliseconds
a,b took 610 milliseconds
