Hi King,
Do you have OE as your default mail client on your computer?, you may have
your Firewall blocking that link or the pop up blocker settings in your IE
browser High and blocking the OE interface to open.
Scan for Malware if the above didn't help.

Windows version?

What should happen when you click on a MailTo link? Has it ever worked?
 
I use Windows XP and Outlook Express. Normally, when I click on a
mailto link Outlook Express should open up an email message to send.
 
Hi King,
Try this and let us know please.
Start the Command *RUN* and in the Text Box type-> regsvr32 urlmon.dll and
press OK.
Then Go to the Internet Explorer Icon on the desktop Right Click and select
Properties from the Sub-menu > Click the Programs Tab and click *Reset Web
Settings*
or on the IE window clcik Tools >> Internet Options >> Programs Tab and
click *Reset Web Settngs*.
Hope this helps
Please write back here
Regards
nass
