I am using "mailto:" to send out emails from my webpage

If I trying to send out "DBCS(中国)" in the body parameter of mailto without
encoding, the output in the email message body displays as "DBCS(ä¸å›½)".

With encoding, i.e escape( DBCS(中国) ) in the body parameter of mailto , the
output in the email message body displays as DBCS(?E2D?6FD) .

Objective is that the message body display "DBCS(中国)" as is.
 
What does mailto: do for you when you click on it - open a new Outlook
message? What is the encoding of that message?

If you get it work with your Outlook (by specifying default encoding
etc), the same problem will start if someone else with a different setup
will click on the link.

I think that you will have to find a different solution to send encoded
email messages than mailto. Do a Google search on "mailto html" and you
will find a bunch of suggestions.
