it opens your default email program? Please help!

Thx!

Even if you achieve this linkage, there’s a chance some users won’t be happy about the experience. Imagine a user whose “default” email client is actually a web browser and not a desktop app. The mailto: protocol URL would have no choice but to load whatever the OS believes is the default email client.
