The same thing happens on Mac OS X 10.4.3 here, although you need an
extra comma between the "To" address & the subject, unless you want to
specify a CC recipient.

I had a look at the script in the revCommon library and it contains
the following lines:
    put urlEncode(pSubject) into pSubject
    put urlEncode(pBody) into pBody
    replace "+" with "%20" in pSubject
    replace "+" with "%20" in pBody

I would have thought they would make it work, even with umlauts, but
in fact, when I commented them out, it all worked fine. This may be
only with later Mac systems and it may be only with Apple mail rather
than any other email client, so I would be reluctant to make the
change for an app you mean to distribute, but for your own purposes,
it should work fine.

Cheers,
Sarah
