a href=”#” onclick=”open_email(’mailto:info@stevenblainemusic.com’);”>

I dont know if this will help you but here id what I used to call up outlook express

function open_email(url) {
setTimeout(”parent.location = ‘yourpage.htm’”,10);
em=window.open(url);
em.close();
}

Then call the script using this

Hope this helps it worked for me…..

This technique opens an empty browser window before sending the mailto link to Outlook. Is there any way to disable the popup?
