I started writing one of my own after I saw the "Gmail This" boorkmarklet http://email.about.com/library/misc/blgmail_this_bookmarklet.htm. I had to take out the email address prompt to save time.

Mailto bookmarklet w/ title, url, selected text

I made a neat mailto bookmarklet that uses the page title as the Subject, and puts the URL and any selected text into the Body. It was tricky because Javascript wanted to interpert the %0D%0A (crlf) too early, so I had to escape the %’s as %25, i.e. %0D%0A -> %250D%250A -> %22%250D%250A%22 (when surrounded by double quotes).
