Consider the following mailto link...

mailto:?subject=&body=&cc=&bcc=one@one.com,two@two.com

It should compose an email with no primary recipient and two blind-carbon-copy recipients.

The URL is perfectly valid according to rfc2368, but due to the blank parameters Outlook gets confused and does not populate the fields correctly.

For example, the BCC field content will be:

BCC: "&bcc=one@one.com,two@two.com"

instead of

BCC: "one@one.com,two@two.com"

Please do not suggest that I should not send blank parameters in the first place.

The order of the fields is not relevant (the same problem will occur just muddled differently).

All other mail clients handle this correctly including Windows Mail.

FWIW it's built using jQuery's param method.

I couldn't find anywhere official to submit bugs so posting here.
