There are two more comments from February:

My main concern or objection was to establish UTF-8 as
the default charset for mailto:?body= by a mere example.
For any UA supporting a body= parameter at all, if that
is guaranteed to be _zero_ UAs I've no problem with it.

My UA certainly doesn't, part of my second concern with
the mailto draft, it should encourage the support of at
least In-Reply-To=
For Bjoern's example I get his subject and a To: bjoern&
That's an oddity of my browser, it hates hex. character
references, @ instead of @ might work, example:
http://purl.net/xyzzy/mailto/webmaster
Yes, it's ridiculous, I needed something obvious for a
human user but less attractive for an address harvester.
Bye, Frank
