How to send table html with email using mailto?

Question

I want to send a email using a href="mailto.." I have this working code below:

<cfset month = URL.Month>
<cfset year = URL.Year>
<cfquery datasource="newsletters" name="testing">
SELECT * FROM departments_names
where dates >='#datestart#' and dates < #dateend#
AND shooting_star_dept_name IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY
DATEPART(year, dates),
DATEPART(month, dates),
</cfquery>

<cfoutput query="testing" GROUP="deptartmetn_name">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="mailto:?subject=#month#/#year#%20%20Results%20for%20newsletters&
body=#total_count#%20#total/total_count#">
Send email to #deptartmetn_name#</a></td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>

Which just send a simple "12/2" (for example). I would like to be able to send more than just simple text. I would like when i click on a link to be able to send a table like below:

<table>
<thead>
<tr >
<th> First Name</th>
<th> Last Name</th>
<th>total</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<cfoutput query="testing">
<tbody>
<tr >
<td>#employee_name#</td>
<td>#employee_lastname#</td>
<td>#total_count#</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</cfoutput>
</table>

I would like to see what I'm sending first to the recipient. Would something like this be possible or is there a better way to do this? My first post here and beginner to coding.

You could use an AJAX callback on your links and use cfmail with cfsavecontent (for the actual HTML content/body of the message) in your callback handler code.
