Is it possible to set the subject/content of email when I use mailto:?

To create a link to send email, use <a> tag, with href attribute. The mail to link is added inside the <a> tag. To add a subject, you need to add ? and then include the subject. All this comes inside the <a> tag.
On the Insert tab, click Link or Hyperlink. Under Link to, click E-mail Address. Either type the email address that you want in the E-mail address box, or select an email address in the Recently used e-mail addresses list. If you want to change the link text, in the Text to display box, type the text.

mailto subject example:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=free chocolate">example</a>mailto with content:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=look at this website&body=Hi,I found this website and thought you might like it http://www.geocities.com/wowhtml/">tell a friend</a>As alluded to in the comments, both subject and body must be escaped properly. Use encodeURIComponent(subject) on each, rather than hand-coding for specific cases.
As Hoody mentioned in the comments, you can add line breaks by adding the following encoded sequence in the string:
%0D%0A // one line break
