Version: 1.8.1 (using KDE 3.4.1 Level "a" , SUSE 9.3 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.7-default Reproduce: click on a link within an email, for example: mailto:jens-bugs.kde.org@spamfreemail.de?Subject=foobar The "Subject" text is not copied into the Subject field of the new mail window that pops up. I don't know if the same goes also for body etc. tags. Please have a look.. this should not be too much work to fix Thank you! :) Jens
Not a bug but a feature...
I beg to differ. See: "To unsubscribe from this list, please click here: mailto:foo-list@bar.tld?Subject=unsubscribe"
Works for me, KDE trunk 430645.
Hm, funny thing. It works for me in KDE 3.4.1 for ?subject= (but it doesn't work for ?Subject= - note the upper case S).

I'm using 1.9.7 pulled from SVN, and still this problem is present. To clarify, at least in my case. If I'm using Konqueror, a mailto: with a subject works no matter how the word subject is cased (subject, Subject, SUBJECT). However, if I'm using Firefox 2.0, the subject doesn't get passed to Kmail with any variation on case. I'm running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn with all the latest updates. Everything is from the Ubuntu packages, apart from Kmail which I built from SVN, just to make sure this hadn't already been fixed.

Use 'kmailservice [url]' instead of 'kmail [url]'. This calls whatever mailer is configured as default mailer in KDE.
Using kmailservice does work. Tested with Opera, Firefox, Epiphany and Konqueror. To make Firefox/Epiphany work, go to Gnome Control Centre, Applications and for the email tab select Custom and type kmailservice %s. For Opera, kmailservice is sufficient (does not require any other parameters). Konqueror just works. I think this can be classed as an acceptable workaround :-).
For those that do not have the Gnome Control Center because they are running the kde desktop. In firefox "about:config", set "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" to "kmailservice". Setting it to just "kmail" will not pass the subject/body. Note that "%s" is not required and will not work with it.
Apparently the "subject=.." works only when no "body=.." is present in the RFC-2368 mailto: link

I have the same issue with kde 4.3.2. Subject is not gettting populated. And I cannot find this application kmailservice
This bug seems to be back in a slightly different way. Links that have "subject" works while links that have "Subject" does not, and mailto:?to=joe@xyz.com&cc=bob@xyz.com&body=hello does not add "joe@xyz.com" to the "To" field.
