html page with 2 links working in Mozilla 1.1 or 1.2
266 bytes, text/html
Details 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

a mailto-URL does not respect "%0A" but not longer HTML-commands.
This did change with Mozilla 1.2, see example below.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Check following HTML code with Mozilla 1.0/1.1 or 1.2:
   <html><body>
   <a HREF="mailto:foo@bar.com?Subject=MySubject&amp;
   body=Line1&lt;BR&gt;Line2&lt;BR&gt;">works only in Mozilla 1.0/1.1</a>
   <BR>
   <a href="mailto:foo@bar.com?Subject=MySubject&amp;
   body=Line1%0ALine2%0A">works only in Mozilla 1.2</a>
   </body></html>
Actual Results:  
The first Link does show
Line1<BR>Line2<BR> 
in Mozilla 1.2
The second link works now in Mozilla 1.2 (Bug 21322 seems to be fixed there)

Expected Results:  
Line1
Line2
for both mailto URL examples from the example code above.

The "Formatting Toolbar" not longer shown in a mail window created by mailto.
From "Compose Mail" it _is_ shown in my configuration (also using Mozilla 1.1).
Sorry a typo! The first description line 
  a mailto-URL does not respect "%0A" but not longer HTML-commands.
should be
a mailto-URL does NOW respect "%0A" but not longer HTML-commands.
Reporter, please attach your testcase to this bug (click "Create a New Attachment").
Try these page with Moizlla 1.2 and a Version < 1.2.
There has been a bug in Mozilla for a while where mailto links always spawn
plain-text composition windows regardless of the "Compose Format" setting, but I
can't find the original report now. Duping to Bug 190120 for now.
