Works with Outlook98 (from IE5.5sp1), though my new email window is large
enough to see the file.

I didn't think anyone had implemented the body= for mailto tags yet, oh
well... something else to keep an eye out for.

Apologies in advance if this is a known issue.

I discovered this a few days ago, a friend advised me to submit it to
BugTraq.

As I'm sure you all know, mailto links do not have to hold 
just an address,
they can also pass parameters for use as the email Subject 
and Body. These
parameters takes format
"mailto:username () host com?Subject=SubjectGoesHere&Body=BodyGoe
