Description André Klapper 2005-02-13 16:18:26 UTC 
when trying to send an email from the command line/shell/terminal/
whatsoever, evolution seems to parse only the first parameter directly 
after the "?" and cuts off everything after the "&", for example
"evolution mailto:recipient@example.com?cc=cc@example.com&bcc=bcc@example.
com"
only adds recipient and cc, but not the bcc to a new email.
Comment 1 spyderz 2005-02-13 16:49:38 UTC 
& is a shell meta character and needs to be escaped. 
evolution
'mailto:me@example.com?subject=testing&cc=someonelse@example.com&body=deleteme'

thanks a lot, then this also wasn't clear to some ximian developers on 
the mailing lists... :-)
