you can place a link on the page like this:
<a href="mailto:{emailaddress}">Send Mail</a>' to have it open the default browser and start a new message to {emailaddress}.Don't know if there is a way to directly launch just the application.

Hm... not too sure if this will work, or if you should do it, but, try linking to the actual .exe file.

i think you have to add file:// to the start of the link

Ye i think file:// would work and then do what Renegade says.
