I’m using the following on two master pages of my site:
mailto:email@hidden?cc=email@hidden&subject=Brochure Request
The subject line does not appear when the new mail window opens. You can check the behaviour by visiting my site:
Click on the Brochure Request item in the menu bar along the top. Many thanks for any help that can be offered!

You need to url-encode the spaces in your subject line. (Replace them
with a + sign or %20.) I have a free tool that will help you create
extended Mailto links – even include message body in the “suggested”
mail. Visit it here: http://freewaypro.com/mailto

Thanks - I tried your suggestion, using your tool to add both subject and body text. Same problem - the two addresses show fine, but the subject line and body text does not appear. Here’s the script:
mailto:email@hidden?cc=email@hidden&Subject=Brochure%20Request&Body=Please%20include%20your%20postal%20address.

It works fine here. What e-mail application is giving you trouble?
Also, anyone visiting this on the Web interface will see it as
fundamentally broken, since the e-mail anonymizer will turn anything
that looks like an e-mail address into ‘email@hidden’.

The problem manifests in any mail application, as far as I can tell. The script seems correct, but Freeway seems to be doing something that causes the script to be incorrectly implemented. Could it be the Anti Spam action (applied to my master pages) that’s causing the issue?

More than likely that’s it. Can you post a link to the trouble page? I
will be able to tell more by seeing the rendered HTML than I can from
mail. In mail, your raw line of code worked fine, so it’s probably the
entity encoding gone awry. If Anti-Spam considered the entire extended
mailto link to be the e-mail address, it may have double-encoded the
already encoded spaces etc., and that would definitely never work.

You can go to most any page on my site, but try the BROCHURE REQUEST graphic link on the homepage - it’s along the light gray menu bar at the top:

When I look at that link, I’m not seeing any encoding happening in the
subject line. It’s just a plain Brochure Request, with an unencoded
space between the words. Try adding a simple + sign between those
words wherever you are entering the URL, and see if that fixes it. The
& sign is being properly encoded as & – it’s just the space
that’s being missed.

Sorry, I don’t follow you. The script I’m entering in the freeway hyperlink dialogue is as follows (notwithsatnding any anonymizer changes):
mailto:email@hidden?cc=email@hidden&Subject=Brochure%20Request&Body=Please%20include%20your%20postal%20address.
So the subject line and body text are there in the script, but don’t manifest when the published link is clicked.
How are you looking at that link? In the source code, it should be invisible due to the Anti Spam action.
What are you suggesting should be changed?
Apologies if I’m seeming dumb here!

I’m looking at the rendered code in the Safari Web Inspector. Try
turning off the Anti Spam and publishing again. You are trying to
publish the correct code, but I fear it is falling down in the regular
expressions of AS.

If you are using version 5, you don’t need the anti spam action, isn’t
that correct? Emails are automatically encoded. I just checked my code
where I use a subject with an email link and the email portion is all
encoded, but I can still see the subject line.

I’m probably missing something in this thread, but for what it’s
worth, I use the 'Mailto linker" Action (Item menu) when I want to
include the subject and a few words of text in a response e-mail. For
me, it just works. And no hand coding.

I have deactivated the Anti Spam action, and this has solved the problem. Thanks for everyone’s help, perhaps this should be communicated to Anti Spam’s developer?
Can anyone confirm what Robin says about the Anti Spam action being unnecessary in version 5?

Quoting eidetic email@hidden:

Spam’s developer?
Consider it communicated. 
I’ll look into this later this week as it sounds like the action needs to be
aware of pre-encoded text.
Can anyone confirm what Robin says about the Anti Spam action being
unnecessary in version 5?
I mentioned earlier in the week on another thread that although Freeway 5 offers
basic entity encoding of mail links Anti Spam extends this by offering 7 methods
for link obfuscation as well as automated HTML text and form field encoding.
Personally I’m glad to see Softpress “doing the right thing” and considering the
real world needs of their users by adding the e-mail encoding option. It’s like
the IE6 fix stuff - it just makes life easier.
All the best,
Tim.
