I don't remember what else you need to quote within<pre></pre>.
Escaping:
With mailto:, you send HTML (SGML) in a URL.
So, you first have to quote using HTML rules:
< -> <

& -> &
" -> "
If that's not done, TB/Mozilla may or may not fix it up: e.g. if you
have html tags in your source code, it would probably go wrong without
quoting.
After that, given that you put it in a URL, you need to escape it using
"URL component rules" (same as you escape any URL GET parameter), using
the %charcode rule, e.g.
(space) -> %20
= -> %3D
& -> %26
# -> %23
(Firefox does the URL escaping automatically when putting it in the
URLbar, and you can also try it in JS using encodeURIComponent(), e.g.
by opening the Firefox Error Console and writing
encodeURIComponent("foo=bla&bar=baz bal"); or starting the
yourfirefoxdir/js runner.)
E.g. "<" in original turns into "mailto:?html-body=<pre>%26lt;<pre>"
Sorry that it's non-trivial (I also hate escaping).
