IE7 opens new browser window for Outlook (mailto) link [Moved form ie]

When I click on a "mailto:"; link, the default mail client opened together with an extra browser window. The browser address bar contains mailto:<email address> . so, I end up with 3 windows (mail client, new window with mailto in address bar and the main window where I clicked the mailto link).

I'm a web developer and use mailto links in my applications. What can I do to fix the issue mentioned above?

Thanks in advance! =)

Hello and welcome to TSF

I think you will get a better answer, in the web design forum.

I will move your thread.

Question Re: IE7 opens new browser window for Outlook (mailto) link [Moved form ie]

Welcome to TSF OdamSap!

I would love to see the code you are using to call the mailto: link. Even the full code of the site to see if anything else could be the cause.
