href="mailto:" is not working on any of the browsers

Issue

I have created a webpage with some hyperlinks (not online yet).

I'm supposed to include certain hyperlinks for the Email IDs on the page.

I tried to create links in this format:

<a href="mailto:someone@mozilla.org">

But these are not opening up using Outlook's new mail, as it is supposed to.

On Chrome, it does nothing. On Firefox, IE & Safari it opens a new blank Chrome Window when I click on the link.

This system is new and has all the above browsers up to date.

Solution

If you are using Windows 7 or higher, then all you have to do is set the default email client. Check this in the control panel under Default Apps setting. Just click on the email client you want and you are all set.
