Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for your response.

mailto: links are indeed standard, with Mozilla products (since Netscape
4.x) supporting only part of the standard.

Since the format of the URL is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", both
+ and %20 should be supported -- see RFC 2368
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2368>, RFC 1738
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738>
 and RFC 3986 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>.

Regards,
Andrey.
