Presuming that Outlook Express is your mail client, I offer the following:
Links In Outlook Express mail and news don't work.
If you click on links in OE mail and news and they do not work, it's because
Outlook Express is not your default mail and news program and IE is not your
default browser. Do this:
1--In Outlook Express, go to Tools | Options and make sure that
"Make Outlook Express my default mail program" and
"Make Outlook Express my default news reader are checked.
2--In IE, go to View | Internet Options | Programs
and select OE for mail and news.
Also, be sure "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the
default browser" is checked.
If the problem persists, see:

*REMEMBER and HEED THIS* - IF you don't know what you are doing in the
Windows System Registry, you may quite likely render your PC inoperable. Do
not mess with it if you are at a loss. Seek on-hand help by a friend or
other who DOES know what the Registry is about.
(but you probably won't be able to use these links till you fix it. You must
therefore copy and paste them into your browser address window. ) :-|

Default
The info is as below: IMPORTANT: This article contains information about
modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it
up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a
problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the
registry, click the following article number to view the article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;256986
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use Outlook Express to send mail from a hyperlink, to
send mail by using the "Send To" feature of another program, or to send mail
by using the "New Message" feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Outlook
Express may not be used to send the message.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if:
Outlook Express is not registered as your default e-mail program.
An entry for the default mail client is missing in the Microsoft Windows
registry.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, register Outlook Express as the default e-mail
program. If this does not resolve the issue, or if Outlook Express is
already registered as the default e-mail program, edit the Windows registry
to correct the default mail client string values.
MORE INFORMATION
Register Outlook Express as the Default E-mail Program
To register Outlook Express as the default mail program on your computer,
use one of the following methods:
In Outlook Express:
In Outlook Express, click Tools, and then click Options.
On the General tab, the Default Messaging Programs section states Outlook
Express is NOT the default mail handler; click Make Default, and then click
OK.
Try to send mail from a link or another program.
In Internet Options:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Internet Options icon, and then click the Programs tab.
Under Internet Programs, click the E-mail list, and then click Outlook
Express.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
Try to send mail from a link or another program.
>From the Run line (if the Outlook Express and Internet Options methods do
not register Outlook Express as the default e-mail program, use this
method):
Click Start.
Click Run.
Type the following line, including the quotation marks, where drive is the
letter of the drive in which Outlook Express is installed, and then click
OK:
"drive:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe" /reg
Edit the Windows Registry
If you can register Outlook Express as the default mail handler, but you
still cannot send mail from mail links or other programs by using Outlook
Express, you need to add a data string to the default mail client key in the
registry.
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To add the data string to the default mail client key:
Start Registry Editor; click Start, click Run, and then type regedit.
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Outlook Express
In the left pane, click Outlook Express. Two values should be displayed in
the right pane: one is Default, which has a value of Outlook Express, and
the other is DLLPath, which contains the path to Msoe.dll on your computer.
If the DLLPath value is not present, click Edit, point to New, and then
click String Value.
New Value #1 is displayed, with the text selected. Type DllPath, and then
press the ENTER key.
Double-click the new DLLPath value to open it. In the Value Data box, type
the path to the Msoe.dll file on your computer, for example:
drive:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSOE.DLL
Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
Try to send mail from a link or another program.

In the future try to make a good post. Explain details: System (Windows 98,
XP, or whatever), product or program that is in use (Outlook express,
Outlook, IE6, IE5.5, whatever) And actually this post would have probably
been best directed to the respective e-mail program newsgroup, but if you
posted here, it is assumed that you are using IE6.
