Problems with encoded mailto-link in combination with outlook

Hello all out there!

I don't know if this is the correct group for posting this, please correct
me/it, if you have a better group for it...

We have a customer who uses utf-8 encoded websites and wants mailto-link on
some websites with integrated subject/content.

Website is written in ASP (.NET is not available at customer site).

So according to RFC (as far as I could interpret it), we created a
mailto-link like this
mailto:[email protected]?subject=%3D%3Fiso%2D8859%2D1%3FQ%3FPenso_que_dever=e1_ser_a_Assist=eancia_T=e9cnica_a_definir_qual_o_prefixo_a_aparecer_neste_campo.miniMAXX_pilhas%3F%3D&body=%3D%3Fiso%2D8859%2D1%3FQ%3FAnomalia:Aparelho_n=e3o_efectua_igni=e7=e3o._Igni=e7=e3o_lenta_e_dif=edcil.%3F%3D

What shows up in Outlook instead of encoded strings is that:
Subject
=?iso-8859-1?Q?Penso_que_dever=e1_ser_a_Assist=eancia_T=e9cnica_a_definir_qual_o_prefixo_a_aparecer_neste_campo.miniMAXX_pilhas?=

Content
=?iso-8859-1?Q?Anomalia:Aparelho_n=e3o_efectua_igni=e7=e3o._Igni=e7=e3o_lenta_e_dif=edcil.?=

In Thunderbird everything shows up correctly, but in outlook we have these
encoded lines with the encoding displayed.

Also tried Server.URLEncode() for the parts between &subject= and &body=
till end, but shows up the same.
