No, the syntax is described in rfc2368:

 mailtoURL  =  "mailto:" [ to ] [ headers ]
 to         =  #mailbox
 headers    =  "?" header *( "&" header )
 header     =  hname "=" hvalue
 hname      =  *urlc
 hvalue     =  *urlc

And #mailbox is of course one or more rfc822-"mailbox", so the problem
of recognizing mailto URLs is not simple.
