This will work if played in a browser and if the browser is configured to 

intercept "mailto:" URLs. It is less likely to work if played as a 

projector rather than as a web page, because the host environment needs to 

recognize what a mailto is. Browsers usually (but not always) know this. 

And of course even if the browser calls up the user's mail program, it will 

only be sendable if they're online.
