This document had a link to the document you need at the bottom, which explains how to send non-ASCII text in a body:

I am checking with a friend of mine who is Japanese to see how to do this exactly.

Went down that path too, by adding: Mailto:?Content-type:text/html&body=mailbody
That did nothing to help.
I also tried: <A lang="jp" href="mailto:sameoldstuff";>
No amount of google-searching has offered any other tips either. A frustrating kind of problem.
Cheers, Sue

Yes. Sorry I didn't pick that up at first. I've got another link, to a document which seems relevant as I understand your problem now. "The mailto URL scheme" <http://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2368.txt>
From scanning that RFC it is not clear to me that you can use Japanese characters, even if encoded, in that place.
But if you can I guess this problem would come up: You are creating a generic, very simple email message, so probably the programs which handle it assume you are working with the default character set, which would be ASCII or something like it. If you create a message in which the body has a different character set then you have to specify that charset in the headers of the email message, so the mail client knows how to decode the characters, and you have not done that, although maybe you could by using the mailto protocol to set a Content-type heading.
