Hey Phil,

Mailto attributes are supported differently by diferent mail clients, but
here's a "best case" example:

<a
href="mailto:foo at bar.com?subject=My%20Subject&body=Foo%20Foo%20Foo">click</a
>

Note that spaces in the subject and body fields have been replaced with
their character code, "%20".

I'm not aware of any place these features are documented, but that should
get ya started.

Take Care,

Seth
