[thelist] mailto links & Outlook subjects

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	Almost perfect.

	You don't have to encode your ampersands in the querystring.  In
fact, if you do, you'll probably get some unwanted characters in your
subject line.

The second ? needs to be &.  Query strings should have the structure:

?field1=value1&field2=value2

Because you are in HTML, the & should be encoded as &amp;, making the
correct code:

<a href="mailto:Enter your friend's email address?subject=Subject of the
email&amp;body=http://www.linktogointobody.html" title="Email a link for
this property to a friend.">
