Details

The standard (see RFC #2368) parameter "?body=" to specify an e-mail-body text
from a mailto:-link seems to be unsupported in Thunderbird 0.9 (cannot specify
Version in Bugzilla).

?subject works, did not try ?cc and ?bcc.

(I'm not sure what Component fits best, but I guess the Mail Window is
responsible for decoding this parameter)
This works for me.  What happens when you click the URL link in this bug?
URL: mailto:somebody@somewhere.tld?body=Is...
ah, so it is really that specific mailto:-link I encountered (I put it in the
URL-line for convenience,-) :

mailto:office@blah.com?subject=Bestellung:%C2%A0Der%C2%A0Kleine%C2%A0Jan?Body=Ich%C2%A0bestelle%C2%A0%C2%A0..%C2%A0Stk.%C2%A0"Der%C2%A0Kleine%C2%A0Jan"%C2%A0zu%C2%A0EUR%C2%A019,50%C2%A0plus%C2%A0Versand%C2%A0an%C2%A0meine%C2%A0nachstehende%C2%A0Adresse:

Maybe it is malformed, havent's checked too closely.
Thunderbird displays everything in the subject-line.
URL: mailto:somebody@somewhere.tld?body=Is... → mailto:office@blah.com?subject=Bestel...
This is invalid -- it's a typo in the example URL. The correct URL would be
something like: 

mailto:office@blah.com?subject=subject-text&body=....
                                           =

That is, the ? should be an '&' (or a suitably encoded one). If you replace the
? by a &, it works fine.

marking invalid -- please reopen if you think this is wrong.
