Help required with inserting link in mail body through mailto

Hi

I am using this code which should make "Register" appear as a link in
the mail body and not the complete URL along with Register.

<a href="mailto:?subject=Microsoft Virtual TechDays&body=%3Ca href
%3Dhttp://virtualtechdays.com/register1.aspx%3ERegister%3C%2Fa
%3E">Click here</a>

Any help will be appreciated.

What standard says that what you're describing is what "should" happen?

I think you can not generate an html mail by simply providing a
<a href="mailto: tag on your page.
Maybe I am wrong. But I think you might need something like this:

if you want to send an email containing a link like
<a http://virtualtechdays.com/register1.aspx">Register</a>
because the sender can not generate html mails automatically - or?

hm... yeah... in gmail I can also paste a link into the body field.
And it will show "Register" and hide the "a href" stuff.
But gmail is not a default mail client.

And it really does work with outlook?
