Href with mailto: has unexpected results

If a webpage has code like this:

href=mailto:myname@somewhere.com?body=http://mysite.com/page.asp?item=26>click me

and you click on it your default email program should pop open with

myname@somewhere.com in the TO field and

http://mysite.com/page.asp?item=26 in the message body area. In fact,

this works fine with Outlook. In Notes it does not. You only end up with "

https://mysite.com/page.asp" and nothing past the question mark.

Any clue how this can be made to function in Notes? It seems like Notes is

html busted and non-compliant to me.

thanks
