If you try to click to the web page http://linux.oregpreshaz.hu/mailto.html and the mail compose window appears after the first not English character I see only 
that: http://linux.oregpreshaz.hu/thunderbird_mailto.png

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Ckick on http://linux.oregpreshaz.hu/mailto.html

Actual Results:  
http://linux.oregpreshaz.hu/thunderbird_mailto.png

Expected Results:  
Text in body like this:

Tisztelt Öregprés-ház!
Köszönöm!
Junk in, junk out -you have some encoding error on the page/with the data. The url i put the URL field works fine for me.
URL: http://linux.oregpreshaz.hu/mailto.html → mailto:foo@test.com?subject=some%20su...
Hmmm, that's weird...

It seems to me that TB has trouble with iso8859-2 uri escaped text.

I tried your link (mailto:foo@test.com?subject=some%20subject&body=Tisztelt%20%C3%96regpr%C3%A9s-h%C3%A1z!%20K%C3%B6sz%C3%B6n%C3%B6m!) all good, but my link (http://linux.oregpreshaz.hu/mailto.html - corrected, to use correct content charset iso8859-2).

What I'm using is perl URI::Escape;
iso8859-2 -- uri_escape("�regpr�s-h�z");
utf-8     -- uri_escape("Öregprés-ház");
to get my uri escaped text.

With that function I have two outputs of "Öregprés-ház":
1; iso8859-2: "%D6regpr%E9s-h%E1z"
   result: http://linux.oregpreshaz.hu/thunderbird_mailto.png
2; utf-8: "%C3%96regpr%C3%A9s-h%C3%A1z"
   result: good


Dupe of bug 169388, I think.  The results you are seeing are actually expected; the URL should be in UTF-8 when unescaped -- that's the standard for URLs, it has nothing to do with page encoding.
Yes you are right.

We can't use any non ascii characters in mailto link's message body :(
(only in header, with some encoding info see comment #7 in bug 169388)

Thank you!
