Adobe Air mailto special characters mega problem in mac os x 4

Imagine this scenario:

You are creating an air application, destined for both os x and windows. Everything works as it should and you are fixing the last functions. One of them is to create an email in your default mail application with a predefined subject and body.

Since it’s flex and cross platform compatible and all that, you create the email by using navigateToUrl in flex and opening a link with all content like this:

mailto:emailadress@theinternet.com?subject=hello&body=thisisanemail.

In windows, everything works fine and you are happy. You know that cross platform prolems might occur, but you hope that, at least this time, everything is ok.
And everything actually works fine.
That is until you put some special characters in your subject or body. Our application needed some those äöå so we had a problem.
