I have Safari 5.1.7 installed on my system.I have installed and set default email client Mozilla Thunderbird.

I have an application which has link like

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">email</a>

This works fine in Chrome,Opera,IE and Firefox.But does not work in Safari.

How to fix this.I searched on Google for this.There it is suggested that we should set an email client for Safari. But I am unable to set email client for safari. See the screenshotenter image description here

I am using windows 7 as Operating system Using Default Programs setting of windows I have set Thunderbird as default email client. Thanks

You set the default mail client in Mail I believe, or maybe in System Preferences. I don't have a Mac here, so cannot check. In Mail you set Thunderbird as default mail client.

    Neither does the OP. (If you look at the screenshot you'll see the browser is running on Windows.)
