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

Provided you have registered a default email client, this usually works, if you’re using an <a> tag as follows:

<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34129707/mailto:[email protected]">Mail me</a>

To change or check the email client settings, do the following (cited from MSDN) – I have modified it slightly because it differs depending on the Windows version you’re using:

1. Depending on the Windows version:
   Open Default Programs by clicking the Windows Start button, and then clicking Default Programs.
   Or: Open the Control Panel in the Start Menu ^*), then use the search text box
   in the upper right corner of the Control Panel screen and type Default Programs there. Hit Enter.

2. Click Set your default programs.

3. Under Programs, click the Email program you’d like to use, and then click Set this program as default.

4. Click OK.

Note

The first time you start them, some email programs display a message asking you if you want to use that program as the default. If you choose to do so, this program will become your default email program, even if you’ve chosen a different program using “Set your default programs” earlier.

^*) In , you can find the Control Panel, if you open the Windows menu , then click on the cogwheel icon , then enter Control Panel in the search box.
