HTML mailto: The options

Copied from zoomquiet.org :

The MailTo command can do more than enter a single e-mail address in the "Send To" field while activating your e-mail program. It can also: 
  • Address message to multiple recipients  ,   (comma separating e-mail addresses) 
  • Add entry in the "Subject" field  subject=Subject Field Text 
  • Add entry in the "Copy To" or "CC" field  cc=id@internet.node 
  • Add entry in the "Blind Copy To" or "BCC" field  bcc=id@internet.node 
  • Add entry in the "Body" field  body=Your message here
  • Within the body use "%0A" for a new line,
  • use "%0A%0A" for a new line preceded by a blank line (paragraph), see example below.  

Notes: 
  • " " (beginning and ending double quotes) are necessary if any spaces are used
  • Mailto parameter should be preceded by "?" for the first or only parameter and "&" for second and subsequent parameter. 
Some examples, with actual HTML Code included, follow:
