mailto link doesn't work in gmail

I'v encountered an issue with gmail mailto: link, the link works fine for Outlook in both iOS and BB OS.

See below:

mailto:[email protected]?subject=thread#:1234123123123

But in gmail, the subject thread#:1234123123123 got truncated because # symbol. 

Subject: thread

I found that after removing # symbol, the subject field populated well, but the # is required. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Most likely has to do with that # character not being URL encoded.

Try mailto:[email protected]?subject=thread%23:1234123123123

And take a look at http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php when you have a chance.
