So, I am creating a link with this format: mailto:usernam@company.com?Subject=This subject line. The link works, but the text doesn't show up in the subject . In "regualr" HTML coding, when you add?subject=something the word "something" shows up int he subject line whene the receiver clicks the link. Not so here. What am I missing.

Creating a link in what? If I paste the following code into the HTML source of an email and then click the link (after saving it and opening from drafts) a compose mail windows opens with all the fields populated. 

<a href="mailto:someone@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=someone_else@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body">Send email</a>
