Subject=Test+Subject&Body=%09kfdskfdksfkds%0D%0A%09

This is because the default ENCTYPE attribute for the FORM element is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". To e-mail data in > plain-text format instead, explicitly specify an ENCTYPE attribute of "text/plain". For instance:

<FORMAction="mailto:xyz"METHOD="POST"ENCTYPE="text/plain">
    mailto: protocol test:
    <Br>Subject: 
    <INPUTname="Subject"value="Test Subject"><Br>Body:&#xa0;<TEXTAREAname="Body">
    kfdskfdksfkds
    </TEXTAREA><BR><INPUTtype="submit"value="Submit"></FORM>

produces the following Body:

Subject=Test Subject
Body=   kfdskfdksfkds
