    Description

      When using 

      <a href="mailto:xyz@apache.org?subject=Nice Framework">Mail</a>
      

      the Mail client will open with Subject: Nice+Framework. This is also for the mail body.

      The reason is, that in this case not normal URL encode can apply. RFC 6068 Section 5 the 3nd text block  suggests to avoid using '+' and ' ' (space), but using %20 and %2B instead.
