Is it possible to have a link in the body of a mailto: syntax

This is what I have, and want to add the hyperlink to "WEBSITE LINK"

<a href="mailto:EMAIL?subject=SUBJECT MESSAGE &body=BODY MESSAGE - WEBSITE LINK ">

I have just used this

HTML:

<a href="mailto:EMAIL?subject=SUBJECT MESSAGE&body=BODY MESSAGE - http://www.hardwareforums.com - FOOTER">Test</a>

Works fine with Gmail and Outlook! unless you mean something else?

Make sure the email client you are using supports HTML.
If not, it will show as plain text.
