As per RFC2368 which defines mailto   further reinforced by an example in RFC1738  it is explicitly stated that the only valid way to generate a line break is with  0D 0A   This also applies to all url schemes such as gopher  smtp  sdp  imap  ldap  etc

I would suggest you try the html tag  lt br gt   in case your marketing application will recognize it   I use  0D 0A   This should work as long as the email is HTML formatted    lt a href  mailto email mycompany com subject Subscribe amp body Lastame 20 3A 0D 0AFirstname 20 3A  gt  lt img alt  Subscribe  class  center  height  50  src  subscribe png  style  width  137px  height  50px  color   4da6f7  font-size  20px  display  block   width  137  gt  lt  a gt    You will likely want to take out the  20 before Firstname  otherwise you will have a space as the first character on the next line   A note  when I tested this with your code  it worked  along with some extra spacing    Are you using a mail client that doesn t allow HTML formatting
