>>From RFC 2368:

  Following the syntax conventions of RFC 1738 [RFC1738], a "mailto"
  URL has the form:
     mailtoURL  =  "mailto:" [ to ] [ headers ]
     to         =  #mailbox
     headers    =  "?" header *( "&" header )
     header     =  hname "=" hvalue
     hname      =  *urlc
     hvalue     =  *urlc
