Is there a way to use ShowUrl to send mail.app an email address

I tried ShowURL "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"+"?subject="+msgSubject
and that worked. But I'd also like to send the body of the message
as well.
Hence I tried adding "?message="+msgString to that, but it goes on
the subject line not in the message body.
I was trying to use ShowURL to hopefully keep be able to use it on
Mac and Windows otherwise I'd see if I could figure out how to run
an Applescript from within RB (which I've never done).
Hints?
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
cc=your_cc_list&bcc=your_bcc_list&subject=Your_subje
ct&body=Your_body
Yes, but very few emails would have a one-word body. =)
What you need to do is make sure that your body and subject text is
URLEncoded before you attach combine it in this manner.
Two other notes:
1. This will not work with all email clients... most support this
format, but I don't think that it is part of the official specs and
so a mail client does not *have* to support the body tag.
2. There is an issue where the user's email is accessed through an
internet browser (like GMail or Hotmail)... this command would launch
the default email client which the user may never have used before
and might be unable to send the email. There is not much that you
can do about this, but it is something to be aware of.
