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:[e-mail],[e-mail]">Some msg</a>

The regex should give me the mail addresses in mailto: link – [e-mail], [e-mail]. It should also support links like

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Comments from MailTo Syntax Page">
<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?body=I am having trouble finding information on">
<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=MailTo Comments&cc=[e-mail]&bcc=[e-mail]">

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.

Parsing URLs, and especially their query strings, is not a job for regexes. You could use a proper URL-parsing library or perhaps just a query string parsing one.
