The delimiters need to be ampersands, not questions
marks. So:

mailto:[email protected]&subject=Mystery&body=whatever

I don't know about body, but the hyperlink with subject
would be:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Whatever

If you use CDONTS to send mail then you can define the body,
and it also supports html email

setting up your email program again"

Change the ampersands to question marks:

mailto:[email protected]?subject=Mystery?body=whatever

Steve,

Ampersands (or, encoded as &amp are the expected delimeters between
name=value parameters in URLs. I'm curious why you are recommending using
question marks.
