Why doesn't clicking an email link open my default mail client, such as Outlook Express?

The Mozilla Suite is an integrated group of applications that are designed to be used best as a group. Because of this, mailto: links in web pages only open in the Mozilla Mail & Newsgroups app. Likewise, web links in an email message open only in the Mozilla Browser app, and irc: links open in Chatzilla, Mozilla's Internet Relay Chat client.

There are a few ways to change this behavior. You can reinstall Mozilla with only the Browser component selected. You can install the Mozilla Firefox browser, a standalone browser which will use your computer's default email client for mailto: links. You can also search the extensions available at MozDev.org for projects designed to add this functionality to the Mozilla Suite.
