I don't know about the other webmail systems, but gmail doesn't appear to handle multiple parameters. Here's a simple test:
desktop-webmail "mailto: ?subject= SUBJECT& body=BODY"
This opens the following URL: /mail.google. com/mail/ ?extsrc= mailto& url=mailto: ?subject= SUBJECT& body=BODY
https:/
If you put that directly in chrome or firefox, the body doesn't get set. However, this URL does work:
https:/ /mail.google. com/mail/ ?extsrc= mailto& url=mailto: ?subject= SUBJECT% 26body= BODY
Likewise, encoding the '&' to %26 in the url given to desktop-webmail, this works:
desktop-webmail "mailto: ?subject= SUBJECT% 26body= BODY"
Perhaps desktop-webmail should be responsible for converting the '&' to %26. It doesn't seem like this should be the responsibility of xdg-open or gnome-open.
