[I appologize if ths is a reposting, as I sent it out on April 20th, 
but I received an email response telling me I wasn't on the 
mozilla.org white list, so I'm reposting now that I am on the approved
posting list]

I have been playing with creating a mailto: URL with a subject and 
body in it. The problem I have encountered with Mozilla RC1 (On eCS 
1.01) is that it doesn't honor the encoded CRLF (%0D%0A).  It just 
ignores it.  This same encoding works fine under 4.61.  I have read 
the RFC's on URL structures, and am still not clear if the encoded 
CRLF is legal or not.  So my question is, is this a bug in Mozilla?  
or was it a bug in 4.61 since it works there?  
 
An example of this is (the next line is all one URL):
 
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=Test mailto: URL&body= This is 
the first paragraph of the test.%0D%0A -- Does this appear on a 
separate line in the compose window%3F%0D%0A -- How about this 
line%3F%0D%0A>
 
I setup a test page at http://madodel.dyndns.org:8081/test/testurl.htm
 
In Communicator 4.61 the mailto: URL in the above, there are three 
separate lines of text.  In Mozilla RC1 it is all one continuous 
paragraph.
 
Anyone know if Mozilla is working as designed in this case?  Or should
I open a bug report on this?
