Sooooon all your problems will be solved. ;-) (There's a new command in 2.0
that handles all these parameters for mail. Cross-platform, too.)

Meanwhile, you can use the mailto: URL syntax to add a subject and body.
Follow the email address with a question mark, then append "subject=" and
your subject, "&", and "body=" and your body text. For example:

mailto:jaed at jaedworks.com?subject=The%20Readme%20File&body=Some%20text

You'll need to URLencode the subject and body.
