That solution did not work for me, but maybe it's just outlook express that doesn't do what the rfs wants it to?

My link is created like this:

<a> <xsl:attribute name="href"> mailto:<xsl:value-of select="$_settings/supportMail"/>?subject= <xsl:value-of select="$_shared/serviceName"/>: <xsl:value-of select="$_fullName"/> <xsl:value-of select="mir:KNP"/>

   </xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="$_shared/mailLink/responsible"/>
</a>

the output of <xsl:value-of select="$_fullName"/> can be "kabelskep" for instance. So how do you suggest I modify the code?

I tested to change the encoding in outlook, so that it reads the mail as UTF-8, and then it displays the character correctly ("kabelskep"). However, most e-mail clients will be set to use ISO-8859-1, that's the problem.

Yeah in the e-mail adress yes, but this is actually in the subject line,
like so:

But of course the same restriction applies to everything in the href
attribute.
I'm using outlook express. So it seems what I need is to convert to HTML
entities instead of %HH, since outlook can't display those characters
correctly.
Nor should it.  The rules for escaping non-ASCII characters in mail
headers are explained in RFC 2047: http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt
For example:

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?kabelskcccc=E5p?=

Which you would then URI-escape, yielding:

href="mailto:adress@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=%3D%3FISO-8859-1%3FQ%3Fkabelskcccc%3DE5p%3F%3D";

But this is not possible in XSLT 1.0 so I'm screwed I guess. :)
Unless someone has implemented an ietf:rfc-2047-encode() stylesheet
function...
