Read Microsoft's KB articles 188019 & 192341 on how to use the mailto
URL scheme. Or read RFC 2368. This will work with whatever is the
currently designated default e-mail client.

Things change.

Doesn't mention a &subject parameter.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287573/en-us
Changes to using mailto to get the Subject added where &subject is a
valid parameter.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197782
Even the old Outlook 2000 article says to switch to using the mailto URL
scheme if you want to include a subject header.

There are lots of undocumented features in Microsoft's products. That
doesn't mean you should be using them. In the examples that I see where
&subject was used as a parameter to ipm.note, it was when the /m switch
was used, as in "/c ipm.note /m <addrslist> &cc=<addrslist>
&subject=<string> &body=<string>". You didn't use the /m switch. That
it worked doesn't mean you were doing it correctly.

I can confirm it doesn't work on Outlook 2000 either (9.0.0.6627)

Outlook doesn't support a command line switch to alter the subject. You can
create a template that does have it specified and call that template from
the command line instead of ipm.note.

Depending on what you are trying to do, it might be better to do it
programmatically instead.
