Works for me:
Outlook opens and fills in the To:, Subject: and BCC: fields.
Not quite sure why it wouldn't work for you. But some things to try:
[ul][li]Try a different delimiter. Maybe the address list needs to be separated by semi-colons (
rather than commas for your version of Outlook[/li]
[li]Try URLEncoding the list... just in case (not even sure if it does anything, but couldn't hurt):
[/li]
[li]Try using the list in #BCC# in the mailto, just to make sure there's not a problem with the list itself:
[/li]
[/ul]
Hope it helps,
