Did you forgot the list? Maybe there are others who can help too...

Sorry, was _really_ late when I posted that. You probably had testes
quoting, as you provided detailed test cases...

I just tried it with you test strings from a console. Works as expected
her. (Evo was running.)

% evolution mailto:'here test com'?subject='Ebay test item'

So Evo is handling that line correct. Seems like KDE does anything magic
or weired with the parameters or the command line while passing it...


Have you tried quoting all? Works too (from console).

% evolution "mailto:here test com?subject=Ebay test item"


Did you try it from konsole instead of a link in Konqueror?

Sorry again, I never saw that question upcoming...

You can try updating, but I'm not sure, if it will fix your problem.
That update was for security reasons -- I don't know any details about
that.


I don't have KDE installed, so I can't test further than a console.
Hope, you get that solved...
