This is more of a URL issue than an html issue.
You might check out the mailserver: URL draft:
"Mailserver URL Specification", Paul E. Hoffman, 07 Jul 1995.
<draft-ietf-uri-url-mailserver-02.txt>
A new URL scheme, "mailserver", is defined. It allows mail client software to create
RFC822 mail messages from a URL.
