How to copy Subject Field contents into a mailto command?

I need help with how to copy the Subject Field contents automatically from
the Subject Field of an email and paste them into a mailto command in the
body of the email.
example...
To: (e-mail address removed)
From: (e-mail address removed)
Subject: Proposal-4
Body...
Joe, email me at mailto:[email protected]?subject=Proposal-4 when
you have reviewed this proposal.

Is there a way to make "Proposal-4" or whatever the contents of
"SubjectField" are be added into the mailto statement? Thanks in advance for
any help.

How are you creating the email message in the first place?

What you want to do could be achieve by a combination of mailmerge and some
VBA code similar to that in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with
Attachments" at

Thank you for your reply.

I am creating the email message from within Filemaker, but the mailto
statement in the body will use html to populate an Outlook message. Is there
some command I can use to copy whatever is in the subject line down into the
body automatically. I need it to be automatic because the email is generated
automatically and the subject line is filled in by a script.

thanks
