Bug Description
clicking on a link in my browser to "mailto:<email address hidden>,<email address hidden>,<email address hidden>&subject=a test subject&body=some test body"
results in an email window with no subject or body, but the following recipients:
<email address hidden>
<email address hidden>
<email address hidden>&subject=a test subject&body=some test body
(first 2 are correct, last one has an extra " before the @, and the &subject=
can reproduce this by executing at the commandline as well:
$ thunderbird "mailto:<email address hidden>,<email address hidden>,<email address hidden>&subject=a test subject&body=some test body"

Hi,
I've had the same problem myself. The link you are using is actually of wrong format. Refer here for reference: http:// tools.ietf. org/html/ rfc2368
The first mailto: parameter have to be separate by "?" sign, not the ampersand, so this would work:
mailto:<email address hidden>,<email address hidden>,<email address hidden>?subject=a test subject&body=some test body
BR,
Ivan
