You have another href starting within the href text. remove the following:

href='http://experience.maritzmotivation.com/MoreInfo3Cheers'

Here it is fixed:

<li id="grey-contactus-icon"><a href= "mailto:[email protected]?subject=info&body=The application beta launch will occur the week of May 28, 2013.  You will be able to sign up then. If you would like us to contact you when the site is live, please click ">here</a></li>

jsFiddle Fixed: http://jsfiddle.net/5pZr7/1/

EDIT - FIXED --- TWO OPTIONS, LOOK AT CODE BELLOW

Two options:

1) with an email and an html link inside it:

<li id="grey-contactus-icon"><a href= "mailto:[email protected]?subject=info&body=The 3Cheers     application beta launch will occur the week of May 28, 2013.  You will be able to sign up then. If you would like us to contact you when the site is live, please click &lt;a href=&quot;http://experience.maritzmotivation.com/MoreInfo3Cheers&quot;&gt;this link&lt;/a&gt;">

   Html Link</a></li>

2) with an email with no html link inside it (should work in most email clients this way!)

 <li id="grey-contactus-icon"><a href= "mailto:[email protected]?subject=info&body=The 3Cheers application beta launch will occur the week of May 28, 2013.  You will be able to sign up then. If you would like us to contact you when the site is live, please click &lt;a href=&quot;http://experience.maritzmotivation.com/MoreInfo3Cheers&quot;&gt;this link&lt;/a&gt;">

   Pure Link</a></li>

updated fiddler: http://jsfiddle.net/5pZr7/8/

EDIT 2 - mailto url encoded link

<li id="grey-contactus-icon"><a href= "mailto:[email protected]?subject=info&body=The 3Cheers application beta launch will occur the week of May 28, 2013.  You will be able to sign up then. If you would like us to contact you when the site is live, please click %3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fexperience.maritzmotivation.com%2FMoreInfo3Cheers%22%3Ehttp%3A%2F%2Fexperience.maritzmotivation.com%2FMoreInfo3Cheers%3C%2Fa%3E">try this </a></li>

Refer this: MailTo with HTML body

It is not possible to have html in the body of the email if you to generate it using mailto

Well, you can just write the url as the part of the email. Most of the modern mail-clients will automatically recognise it.

<li id="grey-contactus-icon"><a href= "mailto:[email protected]?subject=info&body=The application beta launch will occur the week of May 28, 2013.  You will be able to sign up then.
