A friend wants to create a QR code that sends an e-mail with the subject line and body of the e-mail pre-drafted. Can that be done?

Resurrecting this thread for anyone still interested.
The answer above is perfectly valid if you are looking at creating a specific QR code only once.
If you are looking at doing this programmatically, you might be better off using some sort of QR-encoding library for whatever programming language you use, and use the MATMSG syntax to generate this on the fly.
See the reference here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/email-with-qr-code/19610/
Specifically, the syntax is
MATMSG:TO:
john@example.com;
SUB:
Subject here
BODY:
Message body here
;;
You can also use the normal HTML mailto notation if that makes it easier for you.
I hope this helps!
