Mailto from external html

1

I’m loading some external html into my flash8 movie from a txt file. My html contains several mailto links which work when I test the movie locally but once published onto my server the links are dead. Anyone know why this is happening? I just want the users default email program to open. This seems to be a basic, common problem in the forums but I can’t seem to find a solution that works. Any suggestions would be great, Thanks!!
