Keep in mind that should you want to do anything more than your basic "Look ma! I sent a mail!", you should do it with forms and a proper server-side handler to send the mail for you. MailTo-links are inherently buggy and cumbersome. Especially if you should want to put anything besides regular ascii in the text, as email-clients handle charactersets differently.
