There are two issues: capabilities and syntax

One requirement for the capabilities of the 'mailserver' URL scheme is
that it be at least as capable as the "message/external-body
access-type=mail-server" outlined in RFC1521.TXT. Specifying subject
is important, but (at least by this criteria) header fields other than
subject isn't. Being able to supply multi-line data is important.

I don't know if we have stronger requirements for "mailserver"; for
example, for fill in fields, etc., you might be better off having a
form with a ACTION="mailto:" URL.
