Is there anything which you would need to do which is not available within
the HREF value, under the recently proposed extension of the mailto? If I
understand correctly what you desire, I'd think that they are addressed.
With the added benefit of a clean interface between the HTML user agent
(Web browser) and the email user agent applications.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : The mailto URL scheme
Author(s) : P. Hoffman, L. Masinter
Filename : draft-hoffman-mailto-url-00.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 01/08/1997
This document defines the format of Uniform Resource Locators (URL) for
designating electronic mail addresses. It is one of a suite of documents
which replace RFC 1738, "Uniform Resource Locators", and RFC 1808,
"Relative Uniform Resource Locators". The syntax of "mailto" URLs from RFC
1738 is extended to allow creation of more RFC 822 messages by allowing the
URL to express additional header and body fields.
