mailTo systax doesn't work

Hello,
I put in my code ( as I see the exaple on
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp under create mail to) :
(I cannot show this on outlook express, sorry, because designing is
changing).

the link doesn't put an hand when I put the mouse over it (the email link).

What may be the reason for that ?

Thanks :)

Hmm... it works for me on those pages. Maybe you could post the code you are
using?

BTW, there is some seriously bad advice being presented in those examples.
They are showing you ways to add subjects etc to email addresses. This can
have catastrophic results. Read the following for more information;
