Ahhh THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Note it has limitations: http://isolani.co.uk/articles/mailto.html.
That said, I use it regularly.
A wrinkle you may need: mailto:someone@example.com?subject=Email%20Suggestions&body=name:%0Aemail:
The first bold escape characters (%20) are used to allow spaces safely. The second forces a new line.

mailto: to set the recipient, or recipients, separate with comma &cc= to set the CC recipient(s) &bcc= to set the BCC recipient(s) &subject= to set the email subject, URL encode for longer sentences, so replace spaces with %20, etc. &body= to set the body of the message, you can add entire sentences here, including line breaks. Line breaks should be converted to %0A.

I have always used a ?. myname@myname.com?subject=Text to appear in the Subject line.
I guess this is one area where HTML is more forgiving or more flexible.

Yes, correct Gary, so did I
myemail@address.com?body= Welcome. How can I help%3F subject=Subject%20Line
just after the email address. And as Acorn points out I also believe there should be a ampersand (&) before the word subject.

Well, it works the way I have been using it with the ?. So what is the advantage (if any) of using an & instead of a ? ?

Non at all Gary, that's exactly what I'm saying. The ? should preceed the & (or &'nd's)

Hi,
This is almost all covered in the XDPX10 manual, page 397, except for the subject. Thanks for that!
I have a minor problem with the preview. When I click on the email link in Preview, it opens my Outlook and opens/creates two replies instead of one. When I run the preview with IE, it only opens 1 reply, as it should. Anyone else notice this? Preview Bug?
