Windows Gadget mailto: link not working

I'm creating a Windows Gadget and have found that my mailto links are not working at all. I have other links that work perfectly like:

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="new">Yahoo</a>

But when I do this, it doesn't do anything

<a href="mailto:test@test.com">test@test.com</a>

or I also tried this

<a href="mailto:test@test.c开发者_如何学运维om" target="new">test@test.com</a>

Any ideas?

The mailto: protocol works fine for me in a gadget running on Windows 7 with MS Outlook, and it also worked on my Windows Vista virtual machine after I had set up an email account with Windows Live Mail.

I would ensure that you have set up an email account on the machine you're testing with.
