I am trying to send a block of text in the body of an email using the
mailto: &body method. Apparently there are various characters that
cannot be included in a string you send this way. After fooling with
it for an hour I figured out that one of them is the ampersand
delimiter (&). But after I stripped those out another character seems
to have taken its place. I know simple character data works fine
because I tested it with about 10K of aBc's etc.

Is there a list of the characters that cannot be included in mailto:
arguments?
