* Your examples have spaces. Spaces must be encoded in URLs.

* Could this be done as an extension to the 'mailto' URL?

It's not incompatible, I don't think.

mailto:<rfc822-addr-spec>/<subject-text>/<content-text>

where <content-text> has "/" for end of line, and "/"'s that are
intended to be sent should be encoded.

* Security considerations: it's important that no agent send mail
'from' a person without that person being aware of the details of the
recipient and content.
