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.">
