The tal:define and second tal:repeat aren't doing anything, so this can 
be written as:

<tr tal:repeat="item container/zope/ZopeCatalog">
 <td>
  <a tal:attributes="href string:${here/message}?body=${item/body}"
  href="whats this?">
  <b tal:content="item/subject">Subject</b></a>
 </td>
</tr>

It looks fine to me.  What actually gets inserted as the href value, 
when you view the raw HTML of the generated page?
