I don't think it's supported by mail standards.
Yes and No. RFC 2368 is clear that any header=value is allowable as long as header is an RFC 822 header name. Since RFC 822 allows "extension-field" and "user-defined-field", this allows pretty much anything, But RFC 2368 also says 4. Unsafe headers The user agent interpreting a mailto URL SHOULD choose not to create a message if any of the headers are considered dangerous; it may also choose to create a message with only a subset of the headers given in the URL. Only the Subject, Keywords, and Body headers are believed to be both safe and useful. The creator of a mailto URL cannot expect the resolver of a URL to understand more than the "subject" and "body" headers. Clients that resolve mailto URLs into mail messages should be able to correctly create RFC 822-compliant mail messages using the "subject" and "body" headers. which effectively gives clients free reign to ignore all but subject= and body=, although I think most honor at least in-reply-to= and references=. > In this particular case, I informed my customer that she had put a > double-space in her pseudo-header and cautioned her to be careful about > this going forward.
