the URL should work
I hereby wish to confirm this bug for Mozilla 1.5 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007). I'm observing the same as reported here, that is, URL-encoded newlines are lost in the body of the email. It seems that 1.5 decodes the mailto twice, because I found that with the following workaround (double encoding) the body is displayed with newlines: <a href="mailto:somebody@somewhere.com?body=Line%2520one%250DLine%2520two">works in 1.5</a> In 1.4 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624), decoding works as expected and the above example yields the following body: "Line%20one%0DLine%20two", as expected.
