Making a button link straight to a new e-mail message?

I have a ‘contact me’ button in a site I am doing. What I am trying to do now is to make it so that when the user clicks on that button, for them to be taken straight to a new message box.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks

How would you do it if the user doesn’t have Outlook (Express) on their system, for instance, I used the above code on my site but when I view the site on my Mac it will only open a blank browser window in my default browser. Is there a way to have it check for the default e-mail program and whatever it is still open a new message window??

Just curious as I’m not too familiar with Actionscript all that much.

mailto automatically uses the default email proggy.
