I tried to reproduce the error message you got. When I click on a
mailto link on a website I first get a warning that a website is trying
to open web content. If I click on Allow, the mailto succeeds.
But if I click on Don't Allow (?forgot the exact wording), then it is
followed by the same error message you got (email client isn't
installed correctly). The latter is obviously a bogus error message.
Looks like you found another Vista bug.
