As described by RFC 6068, mailto allows you to specify subject and body, as well as cc fields.

As you can see in RFC 6068, this is not possible at all: The special <hfname> “body” indicates that the associated <hfvalue> is the body of the message. The “body” field value is intended to contain the content for the first text/plain body part of the message. The “body” pseudo header field is primarily intended … Read more
