When I link to someone's email on a web page, Outlook 2010 comes up and I can create the email to them.

But once it is created there is no Send button. How do I send the email to the person right away?

Welcome to Super User! Could you please be a bit more specific in your question? It is hard to understand what the real problem is without knowing more details. It would be great to at least add a screen shot. Use the edit function for that. And please take a short look at the FAQ to see how to write meaningful questions. – slhck Aug 23 '11 at 13:26

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

By clicking on a link that uses the HTML mailto function, the computer will attempt to use whatever the default email client is setup for that computer. In your case, it opens Outlook 2010 but it sounds like you do not currently use this program to send/receive emails since your Send button is missing.

For things like this, you typically would want to build a web based contact form that allows the user to fill out the proper fields and click submit to send an email to whatever email address you specify. Otherwise, you can display the email address as you did and leave it up to the user to copy/paste into whatever email client they use to compose a new message.

In Outlook 2010, if you do not have an email account set up (and properly enabled) you won't be shown the Send button.

Check out "I can't find the Send button" and/or "Missing SEND button. Outlook 2010" for more info.
