The plus-sign problem
Many mailto: tools turn every space into a +. Email apps show that plus sign as it is, so the draft reads "Hi+there+about+the+invoice".
The email link standard (RFC 6068) says spaces should be %20 and new lines %0A. That is what this tool uses.
Bcc is not private here
Anyone who sees a mailto: link can see its bcc addresses, for example in the page code or by hovering over the link. Bcc only hides addresses in the sent email, not in the link.
What a mailto link can and cannot do
It can fill in the recipients, subject and message. It cannot attach a file, send anything by itself, or change who it is from. The person always sees the draft and presses send, so it is safe to put on a web page.
Keep it short
Some email apps cut off long messages. A short paragraph works everywhere. A full page of text may not.
