            Bug ID: 465601
           Summary: mailto URL does not allow a body with line breaks
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.22.0
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: theodor-andreas.boerner at gmx.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
I expected that clicking on a mailto-link like the following inside kmails
message viewer will open a message composer with a two lines message:
mailto:test at test.com?subject=test&body=line1%0D%0Aline2
However all the newlines are replaced by spaces.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an email that contains the above mailto-link. The link can be as text
or within <a href=></a> in an html mail. 
2. Open the mail with kmails message viewer.
3. Click on the link.

OBSERVED RESULT
A composer opens with the text: "line1 line2"

EXPECTED RESULT
A composer should open with the text: "line1
line2"

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Running
kmail "mailto:test at test.com?subject=test&body=line1%0D%0Aline2"
shows the expected behaviour, as well as clicking a mailto-link inside a
browser.
