On your PC, yes. And on mine (at the moment) too. But not always. This will
open the default mail client *if* the user's system is so configured and
*if* there is a defauly mail client to open. This will not always be the
case.

Yes, but it is dangerous. Some mail clients will not deliver an email with
what it considers to be an illegal address. To all intents and purposes, it
looks like the email has been sent from the user's point of view. However,
it never arrives.
