The mailto: URL scheme has a specification (RFC 2368): <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2368.html>
In the instructions for respondents to the mailto: scheme, the RFC says from= should not be accepted:
> Note that some headers are inherently unsafe to include in a message generated from a URL. For example, headers such as "From:", "Bcc:", and so on, should never be interpreted from a URL. In general, the fewer headers interpreted from the URL, the less likely it is that a sending agent will create an unsafe message.
