subject=<subject> to the mailto tag. For example, the complete tag would look similar to the example below. You can also add body text by adding &body=body to the end of the tag, as shown in the example below. You can also include &cc= or &bcc= to fill out the CC and BCC fields.
Section 2 of RFC 2368 says that the body field is supposed to be in text/plain format, so you can't do HTML.
However even if you use plain text it's possible that some modern mail clients would render a URL as a clickable link anyway, though.
Add the full link, with:
"http://"
to the beginning of a line, and most decent email clients will auto-link it either before sending, or at the other end when receiving.
For really long urls that will likely wrap due to all the parameters, wrap the link in a less than/greater than symbol. This tells the email client not to wrap the url.
e.g.
<http://www.example.com/foo.php?this=a&really=long&url=with&lots=and&lots=and&lots=of&prameters=on_it>
It isn't possible as far as I can tell, since a link needs HTML, and mailto links don't create an HTML email.
This is probably for security as you could add javascript or iframes to this link and the email client might open up the end user for vulnerabilities.
Please check below javascript in IE. Don't know if other modern browser will work or not.

Here's what I put together. It works on the select mobile device I needed it for, but I'm not sure how universal the solution is
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Me&body=%3Chtml%20xmlns%3D%22http:%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F1999%2Fxhtml%22%3E%3C%2Fhead%3E%3Cbody%3EPlease%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http:%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%22%3Eclick%3C%2Fa%3E%20me%3C%2Fbody%3E%3C%2Fhtml%3E">
I have implement following it working for iOS devices but failed on android devices
