Looking at browse-url-mail in browse-url.el, it looks like it handles
To, Subject and Body, but not maybe not Cc:

  (defun browse-url-mail (url &optional new-window)
    "Open a new mail message buffer within Emacs for the RFC 2368 URL.
  Default to using the mailto: URL around or before point as the
  recipient's address.  Supplying a non-nil interactive prefix argument
  will cause the mail to be composed in another window rather than the
  current one.

  When called interactively, if variable `browse-url-new-window-flag' is
  non-nil use `compose-mail-other-window', otherwise `compose-mail'.  A
  non-nil interactive prefix argument reverses the effect of
  `browse-url-new-window-flag'.

  When called non-interactively, optional second argument NEW-WINDOW is
  used instead of `browse-url-new-window-flag'."
    (interactive (browse-url-interactive-arg "Mailto URL: "))
    (save-excursion
      (let* ((alist (rfc2368-parse-mailto-url url))
             (to (assoc "To" alist))
             (subject (assoc "Subject" alist))
             (body (assoc "Body" alist))
             (rest (delq to (delq subject (delq body alist))))
             (to (cdr to))
             (subject (cdr subject))
             (body (cdr body))
             (mail-citation-hook (unless body mail-citation-hook)))

?

I have a tiny script in ~/bin/mailto-handler:

  #!/bin/bash
  emacsclient -c --eval "(browse-url-mail \"$@\" nil)"

and I think/guess that I have configured ... something to use it, once,
at least Firefox runs it when I click a mailto: link.


  Best regards,

    Adam
