JavaScript, regex: How to fetch mail address in mailto: links

Is there a jquery plugin or may be a regex which can be used to all the fields in query string of a mailto: link. It should support the mailto syntax.

Say if I have a link like …

<a href="mailto:astark1@unl.edu,id@internet.node">Some msg</a>

The regex should give me the mail addresses in mailto: link – astark1@unl.edu, id@internet.node. It should also support links like

<a href="mailto:astark1@unl.edu?subject=Comments from MailTo Syntax Page">
<a href="mailto:astark1@unl.edu?body=I am having trouble finding information on">
<a href="mailto:astark1@unl.edu?subject=MailTo Comments&cc=ASTARK1@UNL.EDU&bcc=id@internet.node">

For a link like

<a href="mailto:value">tell a friend</a>

I would pass value and the function and get an associative array of email addresses and other fields passed in query string.
