If you want to start their mail program to send an email, use a link like
this:
<a href="mailto:emailaddress@email.invalid">
Replace that fake email address with your email.
Clicking on that link would open the user's email client.
The only drawback to putting your email on a web page is that it would
expose your email address to email harvesting programs.
You generally can't count on starting other programs on their computer,
unless the computer is configured to open certain links with certain
programs. Another example would be "webcal" links.
