Hotmail/Live.com mailto: URL no longer working. Is there a new format

outlook.com

Hotmail/Live.com changed their mailto: email handler. It used to be:

https://mail.live.com/secure/start?action=compose&to=%s

Where the %s gets replaced with mailto:email@blah.com by the browser when you click on mailto: links.

So going to https://mail.live.com/secure/start?action=compose&to=mailto:rawr@gmail.com will open the compose mail page pre-populated with rawr@gmail.com in the To field. However this is no longer working and I can't figure out the current one, can you please help me?

Here is a compose link that works right now:

https://outlook.live.com/owa/#subject=SUBJECT&body=BODY&to=TO@EXAMPLE.COM&path=%2fmail%2faction%2fcompose

This then has the following compose screen:
