The part that I can't get to work is to pre-fill the subject. mailto:someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx&subject=test works when it is typed into the browser address, but not when I use "Start mailto:someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx&subject=test"; from dos or STRPCCMD.
That's because the "&" character has a special purpose on a DOS prompt. But, frankly, you don't want to use "&" here, anyway. You want to use a question mark to separate the URI from it's parameters.

The following works just fine for me:
PGM
STRPCO
MONMSG IWS4010
STRPCCMD PCCMD('start mailto:someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=test') +
PAUSE(*NO)
ENDPGM
I only get the email address but the subject is blank and a message telling me that subject is not recognized as a valid internal or external command.
Yep, that's because the "&" character is being treated specially. So what you end up with is two commands... one that starts the mail client, and another that consists of "subject=test" which isn't a valid command. Change it to "?" and it should work (as above)
Maybe I missed this, but is there a reason you are not using the emailing capabilities of the iSeries?
Yep, that would be much, much smarter.
