  You can add additional parameters to the end of the URL, but they won’t be able to grab the title and link of specific posts – that’s a more than the HTML link can handle :)

  To set a subject and body for the emails, you’d do something like this:

  mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)?subject=This is the subject&body=This is the body text you would like to see

  Notice the first item after the email address starts with a ? – after that, they would all start with &.

  You can also add things like CC addresses if needed. Here’s a guide with some more examples (these are full html, you only need the part I’v shown you above)
