title: Mailto: Guideline and character limitation
body: <p>I'm trying to code an application which will allow users to send emails from outlook using the mailto tag. I know with the mailto, there involves limitation of # of characters that may be passed, as well as encoding. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know the exact count of characters I can use, and what guidelines to follow when it comes to encoding special characters? What is counted in the max number of characters you can use? Body and Subject or the whole line including mailto syntax?</p>
  
  <p>For example I will have the following:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href='mailto:test@gmail.com?subject=Test Mail&amp;body=Line one.%0D%0ALine two.'&gt;Test Link&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would this be 69 characters??  </p>
  
  <p>Forgot to mention, supported browser will be IE6. </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
