Mailto doesn't work when website launched from iOS home screen

I have a web app with bunch of mailto links.

E.g. href="mailto:?subject=pawel%20here!&body=Check%20out%20this%20new%20service%20called".

They work as expected on iPhone 6S iOS 12.2 when the web app is opened directly in Safari.

Unfortunately they don't work when I create a shortcut to the app on the home screen and launch the app from there.

Any ideas re wha's happening here?

I found this solution:

<a href="#" onclick="window.location='mailto:[email protected]'; return false;" >Write an email</a>

It seems like if working fine to me.
