evolution seems to parse only the first attribute directly after the "?" and cuts off everything after the "&", for example "evolution mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@example.com&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" only adds recipient and cc, but not the bcc to an ew email. i've added a bug report at <http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=72555>.
There's been a quick response to that; embarrassingly, the problem was not escaping the
"&" character. (Thanks to spyderz for pointing this out so fast!) As it is a shell metacharacter,
the shell was grabbing it and presumably trying to parse the rest of the line itself rather than
passing it to Evolution. Doh! <:-|
So what will work is; mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@example.com\&[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
("\&" in place of "&")Having said that, *none* of the examples I found or was emailed escaped the & characters ;-)

good question - evolution has no manual entry.
Which does seem perverse to me...
isn't there anything about it in the documentation?
A very minimal reference to starting a message from the command line by "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but really
not enough to make proper use of it...
perhaps in the FAQ when it's up. :-/
I did try the url for the FAQ first and got a timeout; how long has it been down?
Ich bedanke mich sehr!
