It's already set to my default email program, which in my case is Opera 9.01. Still doesn't work. I know it should work, since it worked before I reinstalled Windows a couple of weeks ago.

Yes you do need to configure a mailto: client since none were setup as the default. You could use outlook express or some would recommend mozilla thunderbird. Once a mail client is configured you will be able to use that link to send the mail. You can also set the default email client by going to internet explorer->tools-> Options-> programs--- and set the default email client. This is helpful when using thunderbird or outlook to set as default.

Using OpenOffice.org 1.1.5, I exported a SXW file (writer) to PDF. I have done this a couple of times before with great result, but this time the original document contained a "mailto:"; link. I was very surprised that this link didn't work when I viewed the PDF with Adobe Reader. Isn't that supposed to work or am I missing something? Nothing happens when I click the link. The link works perfectly in OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 when viewing the SXW file. Or at least it did before I reinstalled Windows last time. Now it displays a message telling me that I can't send email since no email program was configured for sending email by Internet shortcuts. Is this something I forgot to set in my Windows system? I looked in Writer's Tools-Options dialog but found nothing related to this. So, this seems to be two questions, sorry for that, originally I only meant to ask the first one... 1. Doesn't "mailto:"; links work in PDF files created by OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 ? 2. What do I have to configure to make my default email client to open when clicking an "mailto:"; link?
